The Tribunal held that the assessee discharged the evidentiary onus by furnishing identity and creditworthiness documents (PAN/Aadhaar, loan confirmations, bank statements, ITRs and land records) and evidence of repayments, and that the AO proceeded with a pre-determined mind without invoking statutory powers of enquiry u/s 131 or s.133(6).
