Accordingly, the addition is without evidence and the revenue has not discharged the burden with any incriminating material and we direct the assessing officer to delete the addition and allow this ground of appeal. Lastly, on the ground of appeal of validity of re-asseement proceedings, we find the reopening was made with proper information from DCIT(Central circle) and we are not convinced with submissions of the Ld.AR and we dismiss this ground of appeal of the assessee. 9.

We find that the CIT(A) has considered the facts of Gross profit/ profit embedded in the non genuine purchases and has restricted the addition to the extent of 12.5% of bogus purchases. The A.O. has not doubted the sales and we rely on the ratio of the Honorable Jurisdictional High Court in the case of M/s Nikunj Eximp Enterprises Vs Cit (W.P.No 2860 dated 18-06-2014). Accordingly, we are not inclined to interfere with the order of the CIT(A) and uphold the same and dismiss the grounds of appeal of the revenue. 13.
