However, before the ld. CIT(A), he filed details and confirmation letters, hence, ld. CIT(A) has called remand report. In the remand report, the Assessing Officer has doubted the transaction on the ground that assessee paid the impugned amounts by way of DDs, but those DDs were taken by the third parties and not by the assessee. As find that AO without calling the assessee and without making any enquiry, simply doubted the transaction, in my opinion, the action of the Assessing Officer is not justified. CIT(A) is also not justified in confirming the order of the Assessing Officer. It is a fit case to remit the matter back to th .....

We find force in the arguments of the assessee for the reason that the A.O. has estimated the net profit by relying upon the decision of A.P. High Court in the case of CIT Vs. R. Narayana Rao in ITA No.3 of 2003 which is rendered under different facts. The A.P. High Court has considered the case of an arrack dealer, whereas, the assessee is into the business of dealing in IMFL. Therefore, we are of the view that the A.O. was not justified in relying upon the judgement, which was rendered under different facts to estimate the net profit. On the other hand, the Ld.
