....tion: "1. The Lr. CIT (Appeals)-IV, Surat has erred in confirming the action of the Dy. CIT for invocation of section 145(3) of the act ignoring the facts that books are audited and no defects have been pointed out by the auditors. 2. The Lr. CIT (Appeals)-IV, Surat has erred in sustaining G. P. addition of Rs.5,20,000/- out of G.P. addition of Rs.12,81,376/- made by the Dy.
