Addition under s.69 for alleged cash "on-money" paid over and above the agreement value for purchase of shop premises was examined on whether it could be sustained solely on third-party seized material and an employee's statement. In absence of any corroborative evidence linking the assessee to such payment, and where the assessee categorically denied any cash outflow, reliance on untested third-party material was held insufficient.
