Whether unexplained cash deposits could be bifurcated and subjected to best judgment addition under section 144: Tribunal found bifurcation unjustified because the assessee's sole source of deposits was business receipts from trading in cement and iron-highly competitive commodities-so there was no rational basis for segregating half the deposits as unexplained; consequence: separate addition of unexplained cash deposits set aside.
