Assessee obtained loan from bogus entry provider but failed to produce lender despite directions. Inquiry prevented by assessee. Unusual for lender providing huge loans yearly without being produced. Assessee duty-bound to explain creditor identity, transaction genuineness, creditor creditworthiness. AO asked source of credit, not source of source. Appeal restored to AO to examine by producing company directors. No cross-examination requirement as assessee must independently prove cash credit ingredients. AO to examine transactions per Section 68 parameters, not relying on confessions/retractions. Appeal allowed statistically.
