Penalty proceedings under ss. 271D and 271E were held unsustainable where the Revenue relied only on entries in seized papers belonging to third parties, without proving that the assessee actually accepted or repaid cash loans. The Tribunal held that such proceedings are penal in nature and independent of assessment proceedings, so the initial burden remained on the Revenue.
