Statements recorded under the Income Tax Act were held usable in benami proceedings because the two statutes operate in allied fields, and cross-examination was not treated as an automatic right under the Benami Act. The Tribunal found those statements corroborated by shareholding patterns, effective control of the companies by Mahaveer Lunia and his family, recovery of property lists from his residence, and the appellants' failure to prove lawful sources of funds.
