ITAT allowed the appellant's appeal, holding that the rejection of the books of account by CIT(A) was unwarranted as no cogent defects were demonstrated and conclusions were based on conjecture; the AO's reliance on such rejection to invoke provisions of s.68/s.69A and tax under s.115BBE was unsustainable.
