Issues: Whether the rejection of the assessee's accounts was justified on the facts found and whether the matter required remand for fresh decision.
Analysis: The accounts were rejected on several grounds, including an excess cash balance found in survey, undated entries in the dalal bahi, non-entry of wheat bags in the stock register, and sale of wheat without cash memos. The explanation regarding the cash difference was accepted and ceased to survive. As regards the undated entries and stock register discrepancy, no clear and specific finding had been recorded by the revisional authority on the adequacy of the assessee's explanation. The omission to issue cash memos for petty sales could support rejection of accounts for non-compliance with the statutory requirement, and that aspect could legitimately be considered. Since the other aspects were not satisfactorily examined, the matter had to go back for fresh determination.
Conclusion: The rejection of accounts was not finally affirmed or reversed on merits, and the matter required reconsideration by the revisional authority in accordance with law.
Final Conclusion: The revision succeeded to the extent that the revisional order was set aside and the matter was remitted for a fresh decision after examining the relevant defects and the assessee's explanations.
Ratio Decidendi: Rejection of trading accounts may be sustained for statutory non-compliance such as failure to issue cash memos, but where other defects are not specifically and conclusively dealt with, the matter must be reconsidered on a fresh appraisal of the evidence.
