Deduction for political donations was contested on grounds that the recipient party was a tainted conduit for accommodation entries; the assessee bore the onus to substantiate genuineness. The assessing officer produced no evidence of commission, reciprocal payments, or a direct nexus showing benefit to the assessee from the recipient party.
