Therefore, Assessing Officer treated purchases of Rs..10,08,634/- as non-genuine being peak amount of the total purchases claimed by the assessee.

Taking the totality of facts and circumstances, keeping in view the nature of business of the assessee i.e. trader in Bright Steel Bars and Wire rods, it would be justified if the profit element embedded in those purchases are estimated at 12.5%.
