..... commercial activities which can be categorized into five major groups: Tourism, Construction, Marketing (Trading & Distribution), Industry and Financial Assistance. There are 119 units operating in different parts of the State Uttarakhand and outside. For the AY 2007-08 they have filed the return of income on 31.10.2007 declaring a total income of Rs. 1,17,87,340/- and during the scrutiny AO found that the assessee furnished the return only on the basis of tentative profit and loss account. The assessee has been filed the return of income for every assessment year without complying with the tax audit provisions as enumerated u/s 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (for short called as the 'Act') and the plea taken by the assessee for the same .....

Challenging the confirmation of the additions assessee is in appeal in ITA No. 4971/2011, whereas challenging the deletions as stated above the Revenue is in appeal before us in ITA No. 4981/Del/2011. 4. At the outset, it could be seen from the record that on some occasions like 10.10.2012, 16.05.2016, 01.09.2016 etc. the adjournments were sought on behalf of the assessee but by and large the assessee does not show any interest in prosecuting the matter and has been continuously absent in spite of several notices being issued.
