Addition under section 40A(2)(b) challenged as based solely on a statement under section 132(4). The tribunal found the assessing officer relied on a misattributed statement (it belonged to a different declarant) and, following precedent that uncorroborated admissions during search cannot alone support assessments, held such statements do not justify additions absent independent evidence - consequence: the addition could not be sustained.
