A.O. in rejecting book of accounts and directing him to estimate income at Rs.2,35,996/ - being 5% of net profit on total sales as against loss of Rs.10,93,667/- declared by the Appellant without appreciating the facts and circumstances of the case. The Appellant, therefore, prays that the addition of Rs.2,35,996/ - is unjustified and hence, the same may be deleted. 2. Without prejudice to the above, the Ld. CIT(A) erred in not directing the Ld. A.O. to set off the losses of earlier years against the income, directed by him to be estimated, for the impugned assessment year. 3. The Ld.

He thereafter relying upon various case laws of the Hon'ble Supreme Court as well as Hon'ble High Courts held that the AO had neither provided any basis for making the estimation nor he provided any method of arriving at the figure of income so estimated by him.

However, we may observe that the authorities below have not given any finding as to why the earlier year losses should not be allowed to be set off against the income of....
