The total quantity of stone found weighed on such slips was 8925.300 quintals valued at ₹ 2,25,000/-. Further, a diesel generating set was found installed at the assessee's premises. Again, it is admitted that no enquiry was made by the revenue authorities from Sri Bankey Bihari Dharamkanta. It is also not the case of the revenue that the hand-writing on weighment slips was of the assessee or its employee. At the same time, no books of accounts of the assessee were found present at the time of survey.

Insofar as there are transactions involving weighment of stone, crushed stone and stone dust found recorded in the said weighment slip register, the same has been correctly attributed to the assessee. 8.

It would have been another thing if the weighment slips had been found from the premises of the assessee without mention of the same belonging to Sri Bankey Bihari Dharamkanta.
