Fake AI-generated precedents vitiate adjudication, with unverified citations contaminating the decision-making process and undermining the rule of law...
Payments made by a sister concern towards software testing and development, and adjusted against the assessee's business bills, were held not to constitute deemed dividend. The Court relied on concurrent factual findings that the transactions arose in the regular course of business, and the Revenue failed to rebut that position.

The questions of law were answered in favour of the assessee and the Revenue's appeal was dismissed.
