ITAT held that impugned additions made on the basis of an impounded third-party ledger could not be sustained and allowed the assessee's grounds. The Tribunal found the reproduced document belonged to third parties and, under Section 292C, its contents must be construed in favour of the assessee where the document is not self-speaking as proof of the assessee's income.
