Heard both sides. Case files perused. 2. Learned counsel informs us at the outset that both these appeals challenge correctness of the above purchases disallowances in respect of separate assessees /appellants wherein the lower authorities treat the same as bogus. Shri Pipara states that the sole issue herein involves identical factual backdrop. We thus treat former appeal ITA No.882/Ahd/2014 in respect of the former assessee Shri Anil Gaherilal Duggad as the lead case. 3. We advert to relevant facts.

We come to latter assessee's appeal ITA No.883/Ahd/2014 involving similar issue of purchases disallowance of Rs. 65,05,101/- in respect of copper purchases in trading business. Both the learned representatives agree that our above discussion in former assessee's case applies in toto herein as well. We thus direct the Assessing Officer to restrict the impugned disallowance @15% in the instant appeal as well with all our stipulations in the preceding paragraph. ITA No.883/Ahd/2014 is also partly accepted. 5. These two assessees partly succeed in their respective appeals. [Pronounced in the open Court on this the 26th day of Apr .....
