Treatment of sales as income from unexplained source - Allegation that Assessee had created a false business with the objective of laundering its unaccounted income is based on the enquiries conducted by the AO under Section 133B - Rule of consistency is a well-established and recognised principle applicable to the Income-Tax proceedings.
