Hence, it is not correct to take sales as genuine and purchases as bogus as both have co-relation with each other. Hence either, sales and Purchases both should be considered or deleted together. Further, Appellant would like to state that, purchases which were in dispute were sold to Government companies and the Appellant had produced the Test report of the goods. It suggests that, Sales are genuine and based on that the Purchases should be treated as genuine only. Hence, no addition is warranted.
