....nses etc. The ld. CIT(A) deleted part of the disallowance against which Revenue is in appeal before us whereas for the amount of disallowance sustained, assessee is in appeal before us. The assessee has taken following grounds:- Grounds of appeal by assessee: "1) On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the learned CIT(A) erred in sustaining disallowance of Rs. 54,43,439/- on account of raw materials discarded and the reasons assigned by him for doing so are contrary to the facts of the case and provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961, and Rule made thereunder. 2) On the facts 'and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the learned CITCA) erred in sustaining disallowance of Rs. 5,OO,000/- on adhoc basis, out of adhoc disallowance of Rs.l0,00,000/- made by the learned AO. from miscellaneous expenses of Rs. 28,91,6951- incurred by the appellant, without taking into consideration the details filed and the nature of expenses so incurred and the reasons assigned by him for doing so are contrary to the facts of the case and provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961, and Rules made thereunder. 3) On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, the lear....

....aterial discarded. The ld. CIT(A) has also given opportunity to the assessee during remand proceedings but the assessee could not furnish any detail to the satisfaction of A.O. After considering the remand report, the ld. CIT(A) has confirmed the disallowance vide para 14.5 of his appellate order which has not been controverted by the ld. A.R. by bringing any positive material on record. Accordingly we do not find any reason to interfere with the orders of ld. CIT(A) confirming the disallowance of Rs. 55,43,439/- on account of raw material discarded. Accordingly ground No. 1 of assessee's appeal is dismissed. 6. Ground No. 2 of assessee's and Revenue's appeal pertains to disallowance out of miscellaneous expenses of Rs. 28,91,695/- incurred by the assessee company. The A.O. disallowed an adhoc amount of Rs. 10 lacs out of which Rs. 5 lacs was sustained by the ld. CIT(A. Both assessee and Revenue are in appeal before us. 7. We have heard the rival contention and found that disallowance of Rs. 10 lacs made by A.O. was sustained by the ld. CIT(A) at Rs. 5 lakhs after having following observation:- "15.3 I have considered the submission and gone through the submissions and books of ....

....o, there being no expenses in cash above Rs. 20,000/- reported by the auditor which would attract mischief of section 40A(3), ordinarily no adverse view would be taken unless the AO has brought on record something in concrete on this issue. The AO not having brought anything on record on this count it would be difficult to sustain the disallowance in such a eventuality. It is also not the case of the A.O. that the tax audit report is unreliable. It has been contented by the assessee at the stage of hearing that the cash book was in fact produced before the A.O. at the time of preparation of remand report but somehow A.O. failed to take cognizance of the same and preferred to stick to his earlier position. The assessee's argument that the company had stopped the activities relating to production and accordingly the fact that the cash expenses were not required under the given circumstances merits consideration. Moreover in the original order the AO had held that since in earlier year the assessee had incurred expenditure in cash in excess of Rs. 20,OOO/ - for the year also the same would have incurred the expenditure in cash of that order and on that basis had estimated such pro....

....s and Revenue's appeal pertains to disallowance of manufacturing expenses incurred by the assessee amounting to Rs. 6,58,50,190/-. The A.O. disallowed on adhoc basis amounting to Rs. 50 lacs out of which Rs. 25 lacs was deleted by the ld. CIT(A) Similarly ground No. 4 of assessee's appeal and ground No. 3 of Revenue's appeal pertains disallowance of administrative and selling expenses. The assessee has incurred and debited administrative and selling expenses of Rs. 52,73,632/- out of which the A.O. has disallowed an amount of Rs. 10 lacs on adhoc basis. The ld. CIT(A) sustained the addition to Rs. 5 lacs. Observation of ld. CIT(A) for sustaining 50% of disallowance both in case of manufacturing expenses and administrative expenses was as under:- "18.5 The assessee in his rejoinder apart from reiterating whatever was stated earlier had further submitted that all the details were produced to the AO at the stage of preparation of remand report and apart from the same the books of accounts were also produced. However the AO refused to take cognizance of the same and has observed that genuineness of such expenditure was not verifiable. In fact the AO did not ask for any further details....
