Accordingly, assessment was reopened by issuing notice u/s 148 of the Act. Thereafter, AO made addition on account of bogus purchases to the assessee. 3. Aggrieved by the above order of AO, assessee preferred appeal before Ld. CIT(A) and Ld. CIT(A) after considering the submission of assessee, restricted the addition 12.5% by relying on the various judgments. Accordingly, Ld. CIT(A) partly allowed the appeal of the assessee. 4.
