Thanks Sir. Raid was conducted at unit selling flats. The statement recorded u/s 132(4) by dept, is used against the third party who had purchased the flat by chq payment only. Now dept is alleging cash payment made by purchaser. The purchaser is denying cash payment. What case laws and study material available on TMI .

AI Summary

Admissibility of raid statements may determine whether a purchaser's cheque payment claim rebuts an alleged cash transaction. A raid produced a recorded statement relied on by the department to allege a purchaser paid cash for a flat; the purchaser denies cash payment, asserting cheque payment. The issue is whether and how a raid recorded statement may be used against a third party purchaser and what case law and materials address the evidentiary weight of such statements versus documentary payment proof.
