Since, these sales were already recorded in the books of accounts, we do not see any reason to interfere with the order passed by Ld. CIT(A), accordingly ground no. 1 raised by the revenue is dismissed. 12.2 With regard to Groun No. 2(a) (b), we notice that AO has made addition based on undisclosed sales and undisclosed stock which was found during survey proceedings.
