For the assessment year 1962-63, he disclosed a taxable turnover of Rs. 18,47,834.56. But the revenue after recovery of the anamath slips, which admittedly covered a turnover of nearly rupees two lakhs, exercised their jurisdiction in law and brought to tax the escaped turnover under the best of their judgment. Whilst doing so, they added to the disclosed turnover a sum of about rupees six lakhs. The appeals to the Appellate Assistant Commissioner, as well as to the Appellate Tribunal, were not successful. The Appellate Tribunal, as a matter of fact, finds that the petitioner sought an elaborate enquiry as to the quantum of the alleged suppression and attempted to de...
