ITAT upheld the additions made by the AO and affirmed by CIT(A), dismissing the assessee's appeal. It held that the assessee's own ledger account showed reduction of the trade liability towards the creditor, evidencing cessation of liability, attracting s. 41(1). The assessee failed to produce any material to show that the creditor had not waived the debt or that the write-back was incorrect.
