Addition for alleged unexplained cash receipts based solely on an excel sheet/ledger seized from a third party and a statement recorded from that third party was held unsustainable because the assessee was not furnished the relied-upon seized material or statement and was denied an effective opportunity to cross-examine the witness, constituting a breach of natural justice.
