Managerial remuneration disallowance under s.40A(2)(b) challenged over alleged tax-avoidance; appellate decision restored deletion of addition for dir...
Section 108 statements were held admissible as substantive evidence to connect an implicated person with customs contraventions, and consistent recorded statements, corroborated by collateral material including forensic analysis of a detained mobile phone and other witness statements, furnished adequate material to sustain confiscation and penalties.
