It was further pointed out to the AO that since all the payments were made through the bank account, the genuineness of these transactions for purchases are verifiable from the bank's records. Mr. Sampat Kr.

He further argued that from a plain reading of the assessment order for asst. yr. 1990-91, it will be very much clear and apparent that the addition by the AO has been made on the basis of his decision for asst. yr. 1989-90 against the principles of res judicata submitted that the decision of the AO in asst. yr. 1989-90 stand reversed by the CIT(A) and the order of the CIT(A) has b....

As such the issue is already settled in favour of the assessee. 10. Considering the entirety of the facts and circumstances of the case we find that the transactions of purchase of raw-materials are genuine and acceptable. 11.
