Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
ITAT adjudicated a dispute regarding tax assessment in a precious metal business. The tribunal found the Assessing Officer (AO) improperly rejected audited books under Section 145(3) without conducting a mandatory special audit under Section 142(2A). The ad-hoc income determination was deemed capricious and irrational, lacking cogent material and expert assessment. Given the complex business nature involving high-value transactions and inventory volatility, the tribunal disapproved the arbitrary income estimation. The matter was remanded to the AO for fresh income determination in strict compliance with legal provisions, with the appeal allowed for statistical purposes.
