the Act applies viz., where the parties to the transaction are related. Following
the aforesaid decisions, we hold that the AO was not right in proceeding to
ignore the books results of the Assessee and resorting to a process of
estimating total income of the Assessee in the manner in which he did. We find
force in the submission of the learned counsel for the Assessee that what can
be taxes is only income that accrues or arises as laid down in Sec. 5 of the Act.
Nothing beyond Sec. 5 of the Act can be brought to tax. As contended by him
there was nothing to show accrual of income so as to disregard the loss
declared by the Assessee in the return of income filed. As we have already
seen there is no provision in the Act by which the AO can ignore the sale price
declared by an Assessee and proceed to enhance the sale price without
material before him to show that the Assessee has in fact realized higher sale
price. As contended by the learned counsel for the Assessee, wherever the
legislature wanted to tax income not earned, it had made specific provisions in
the Act by way of deeming fiction like provisions of sec. 43CA(1), Sec. 45(4)
and sec. 50C(1) of the Act.
