According to the ITO, excess stock was hypothecated with the bank as compared with the stock available as per books of accounts. He worked out the peak of such stock at Rs. 13,22,977 as on 22nd Nov., 1981. The assessee was called upon to explain the discrepancy. It appears that the ITO was partly satisfied with the explanation given and ultimately he made an addition of 4,28,226 on account of excess hypothecation with the bank.

It appears that the bank authorities carried the same figures to 22nd Nov., 1981 as were declared by the assessee on 20th Nov., 1981. In view of this position, we are inclined to agree with the learned counsel for the assessee, as well as the CIT(A) that position could not be compared of 20th Nov., 1981 with 22nd Nov., 1981.
