Loose sheets recovered in search can carry evidentiary value in income-tax proceedings when they contain contemporaneous transaction details and are fairly corroborated; the statutory presumption against the assessee applied, and a bare denial that the entries were not in the assessee's handwriting was insufficient to rebut it, so the additions based on undisclosed investment were sustained.
