Section 153C could not be invoked where the satisfaction note relied only on documents said to belong to the assessee but did not show that they were incriminating or relevant to the assessment year in question; the proceedings were therefore invalid. On the taxability of the land sale, a solitary sale of agricultural land was not treated as an adventure in the nature of trade, and rural agricultural land outside section 2(14)(iii) remained outside the capital asset definition.
