Where alleged bogus purchases are not supported by proof of actual goods movement, but the books, sales and disclosed profits remain accepted, only the profit element embedded in those purchases may be disallowed rather than their full value. The High Court upheld the Tribunal's factual estimate of a 10 per cent disallowance, finding no legal infirmity.
