....quo assessee for the reason that despite so many fixations, assessee did not attend and even the notices were served by the assessee. Except on few occasions one Mr. G.P. Mehta, CA appeared and he also asked for adjournment only on one pretext or the other. Hence, we have proceeded to hear these appeals exparte quo assessee and will decide on merits. 3. The first issue in this appeal of Revenue is as regards to the order of the CIT(A) deleting the additions made by AO by adding the recasted value of closing stock. For this Revenue has raised following ground no. 2.1 to 2.3 which is reproduced as under: "2.1. The learned CIT(A) erred in allowing the claim of the assessee that it had correctly valued the closing stock. 2.2. The learned CIT(A) failed to appreciate that value determined by the AO in respect of value of closing stock was based on facts and as per accounting principles. 2.3. The learned CIT(A) also failed to distinguish the facts of the case in the case of M/s Apollo Tyres, reported in 255 1TR 273(SC) and the assessee's case. In the former's case, only limited adjustments can be made while determining the book profit u/s 115J of the ....

....warranted even from the accounting stand point for the detailed reasonings as extracted from the AR's submissions at the foregoing para 6.2, the addition made of Rs.6,14,13,736/- is directed to be deleted and. the AO is directed to retain the profit and loss account as determined by the assessee instead of the recasted figures adopted by him resulting in inflated gross profit of Rs.6,14,13,736/- as against loss of Rs.5,76,90,707/- returned by the assessee, This ground is therefore allowed." Aggrieved, now Revenue is in appeal before us. 6. We have heard Ld. Sr. DR and gone through the facts and circumstances of the case. Before us, Ld. Sr. DR only made submission that he is not aware of the fate of the CIT(A) order for AY 2011-12 in ITA No. 1706/13-14 order dated 23.03.2015 and in case the addition there is sustained and has no objection in deleting the addition but if the recasted closing stock in that year is deleted this addition has same way to be treated. We also noted that the CIT(A) has deleted the addition on the basis that the same was considered in the re-casted profit and loss account of earlier assessment year i.e., AY 2011-12 and hence he deleted the addition....

The assessee before CIT(A) denied the other related parties findings of Rs. 6,44,88,309/- and he produced the complete accounts before the CIT(A). Thereby, the total advances interest free remains is Rs. 11,58,81,774/-, this includes the opening balance also. The CIT(A) going through these facts noted in para 9.5 to 9.8 read as under: "9.5 The AO appears to have proceeded on the misplaced premise and assumption that the assessee after obtaining both short term / long term borrowings during the year on 24% flat interest utilised them for advances to. various related parties as defined In Section 40(A)2B, interest free, for non business purposes and therefore has consequently disallowed and added back to the total income the notional interest 'receivable' on such advances aggregating to Rs.3.38 crores calculated at the flat rate of 2....
