....Faizabad has erred in law and on facts by estimating the net profit @ 4% as against 8% applied by AO on the gross contract receipts relying on the past history of assessee's own case without appreciating the fact that the facts of the present case are totally different from the facts of assessee's case in preceding assessment years and also principles of res-judicata are not applicable under Income Tax Act. 3. The Ld. CIT(A), Faizabad has erred in law and on facts while comparing the past history of assessee's own case without appreciating the fact that the net profit disclosed by the assessee was on the basis of the books of account for the year under consideration which the AO had rejected in terms of provisions of section 1....

....y the Ld. CIT(A) because we do not find any reason to take a contrary view in the present year. Regarding this contention of Ld. Ld. AR of the assessee that such income computed at the rate of 4% of gross receipt should be inclusive of interest income Rs. 8,71,002/- and truck income of Rs. 4,87,620/-, we find no merit in this contention although this is true that in Assessment Year 2008-09 also, there was interest income of Rs. 3,29,551/- but in the assessment order for that year available on pages 24 to 25 of the paper book, the Assessing Officer applied net profit rate of 7% to the gross receipt in that year of Rs. 781.39 lakh and computed the gross business income at Rs. 54,69,731/- and after allowing deduction on account of interest to ....

In this case, it was held by the Tribunal that for the purpose of applying section 184(5) of the Act there has to be complete failure as envisaged u/s 144 and mere non cooperation of the assessee making it difficult to determine the correct income may justify an assessment u/s 144 of the Act but that by itself is not sufficient to assess the firm as an AOP u/s 184(5). In the present case, we find that initially the Assessing Officer issued notice u/s 142(1) of the Act but the same was not complied with and thereafter, the Assessing Officer issued notice u/s 142(1) again for which part compliance was made by the assessee by appearing before the Assessing Officer along wit....
