The article addresses the legal infirmity of tax additions founded solely on digital ledger entries seized from a third party (Hazir Johri software). It states the statutory presumption applicable to a searched person does not extend to third parties (JBL), and ledger entries without contemporaneous corroboration (bills, invoices, vouchers, stock records) or exclusive linkage to the assessee are insufficient to sustain assessments.
