ITAT upholds the CIT(A) order in favour of the assessee and dismisses the Revenue's appeal. The Tribunal found that the AO, having himself made specific additions and disallowances after rejecting books, could not compel application of presumptive taxation under s.44AD; CIT(A)'s individual adjudication of each addition/disallowance is sustained. Deductions under ss.80HH/80I are allowed on the evidence furnished. Disallowances relating to manufacturing expenses, interest, unexplained investment in plant & machinery and many administrative/selling expenses are deleted or reduced (administrative/selling expenses restricted to one-tenth where appropriate). 100% depreciation on kegs is permitted. Grounds 1 and 2 of the Revenue are dismissed on merits.
