Hence all are heard analogously and are being disposed of by this common order. The ITA bearing No.2600/Ahd/2016 for Assessment Year 2012-13 is taken as the lead case. 3. The Revenue has come up against the deletion of addition of Rs. 1,79,12,777/- out of total addition of Rs. 1,84,38,444/- made on account of excess burning loss.

..... he instant appeal the Ld.represestative of the Revenue made his submission on the basis of the order passed by the AO relying upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble High Court of Allahabad in the case of Mohan Steels. 8. On the other hand Ld. counsel appearing for the assessee relied upon the written submission made before the Ld.CIT (A) which is part of the paper book before us.

As we can see, assessee had supplied all the relevant details to the lower authorities such as register which are subject to regular check and subject to audit, Raw material Register, production register and audited books of account with tax audit report and there was specific defect was found by the Id. A.O. Therefore, in our considered opinion, Id. CIT(A) has rightly deleted the addition of Rs. 1,33,02,075/-. Therefore, we do not want to interfere in the order passed by the Id. CIT(A)...'' 9.4 We find that the Ld.CIT(A) in appeal though upheld the AO's view in not considering the order passed by his predecessor in respect of A.Y. 2010-11 in appeal in deleting the addition simply on the ratio of non-applicability .....

..... that the GP ratio is on decline and the same has become negative in A.Y.2015-16, therefore, the latest profitable assessment year i.e. 2014-15 is taken as standard GP to compute the GP addition. If the standard GP at 4.65% is accepted then the GP addition for A.Y.2012-13 and A.Y.2013- 14 is computed at Rs. 5,25,667/- and Rs. 1,58,614/- respectively. Hence it is considered quite fair and reasonable to compute the GP addition for A.Y.2012-13 at Rs. 5,25,667/-. As all the expenditure has already been accounted while computing the basic GP percentage of 4.48, no further deduction for any expenses can be given. Consequently the addition of Rs. 1,79,12,777/- is hereby deleted and addition of Rs. 5,25,667/- is hereby confirmed. The ground No.2 is .....
