In case of CIT vs. Padamchand Ram Gopal (1970) 76 ITR 719 (SC), the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that no addition is justified if the books of accounts are not rejected. 6.4. We have also seen the other case law relied upon by the learned authorised representative and we find that the book results cannot be ignored if the books of accounts are not rejected or any defect were not pointed out by the AO. Therefore, we do not see any infirmity in the order of the CIT (A). On the reasons given by CIT (A) and on the reasons given here by us, the order of the CIT(A) is confirmed here by us. The above order is applicable in toto . The order is order of the co-ordinate Bench.

The books of accounts are being maintained and the assessing officer mention that assessee is not maintaining the books of account and the Commissioner of Income Tax follow the same reason best known to him. From the perusal of the balance sheet you will observe that amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- as advance in the immediately preceding year.

CIT(A) in para 6.3 of the impugned order has decided the issue as under:- 6.3. "I have carefully consider the observation made by the Assessing Officer in the assessment order, submission and additional evidences filed by the A/R of the appellant, remand report of the Assessing Officer and rejoinder filed by the A/R of the appellant. I find that the Assessing officer made the addition of Rs.4,00,000/- making detail observation that the appellant produce the Jamabandi and Girdawari but no bills of sale of agricultural products are produced. In support to his claim of source of investment the assessee produced a page giving head payment, income, loan and saving account on a white paper and apart from this produced nothing to his support.

On this proposition, we found support from the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Mehta Parikh & Company vs. CIT (1956) 30 ITR 181 (SC), Dr. Prakash Rathi vs. ITO 36 TW 1 (Jodh-Trib), ITO vs. Doctor Tej Gopal Bhatnagar 20 TW 368 (Jodh-Trib.), Labh Chand Bohra vs. ITO (2008) 219 CTR (Raj) 571 : (2008) 8 DTR (Raj) 44, Shrikumar vs. ITO (1990) 36 TTJ (Jp) 538, Smt.
