Reopening of assessment was upheld where impounded loose papers and a purchaser's admission provided prima facie material of undisclosed cash consideration, corroborated by matching cheque entries and registered sale deeds; failure of the assessee to specifically seek cross examination at reassessment foreclosed a later natural justice challenge.

On these grounds the assessing officer's addition as unaccounted sale consideration was held justified and the claim against reassessment failed.
