In corporate assessments of unexplained share capital and share premium, documented traceability via ITR acknowledgments, PAN details and bank statements through legitimate channels is accorded greater evidentiary weight than the Assessing Officer's subjective "Test of Human Probability"; accordingly the addition was deleted.
