The crux of arguments on behalf of the revenue by Shri Arun Dewan, the learned Sr. DR, is identical to the ground raised and reliance was placed upon the assessment order.

....nt order it is observed that the relevant details were given by the assessee and the same were also reproduced in the assessment order. I find that no cogent reasons have been given by the Assessing Officer and she is incorrect when she states that "here it is worth mentioning that mere writing off of the bad debts in the books of account is not sufficient". The next few sentences written by the A.O. are not comprehensible. In view of the facts mentioned in the written submissions of the appellant, there is no doubt that the essential details relevant for considering the allowability of the claim of bad debts were submitted during proceedings. The legal position in regard to this issue has also been clearly enunciated by the Supreme Court i....

.... 20,19,600/- made on account of expenditure debited under quality rejections when the assessee had credited the provision account in this regard which was not in accordance with the mercantile system of accounting. During hearing the learned Sr. DR defended the assessment order whereas the learned counsel for the assessee relied upon the order of learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) by further submitting that the assessee supplied certain consumable goods to Ukrine and out of them part of the goods were rejected as the same were not found satisfactory for human consumption.
