Reopening of assessment - Addition u/s 68 - unsecured loans treated as bogus - reassessment merely based on information from investigation wing held unjustified. Powers of assessing officer to reopen wide but not plenary - "reason to believe" required, not mere "reason to suspect". Belief must be of honest, reasonable person based on reasonable grounds, not suspicion or rumour.

Hence, addition u/s 68 unwarranted.
