As AO had not doubted sales, entire purchases could not be treated as bogus because there could not be any sale without actual purchases. Therefore, addition @ 12.5% of bogus purchases would meet the ends of justice.

Income from undisclosed sources - Addition under section 69C - Bogus purchases - No dispute as regards corresponding sales
