Therefore, it is held that source of cash deposits of Rs. 4,66,563/- (Rs. 3,68,563 + Rs. 73,200 + Rs. 24,800) remains unexplained.

..... 8,563/- could and should not have been doubted, particularly when the authorities below did not make any inquiry and failed to bring any contradictory evidence to negative such claim and submission. Interestingly, the ld. CIT(A) himself has admitted the recovery of cash sales of current year (Rs. 7,12,752/-) made to the same parties common with the current year. 1.2 Old Debtors realisation of Rs. 3,68,563/-(II PB-111-119): On the same analogy of accepting current year sale, when old recovery is made against the outstanding amount of preceding years sales from the parties who are common in current year, there is no reason to doubt the claimed recovery. In absence of any adverse material on record disbelieving the realization of Rs. 3,68,563/-is against the provision of law and also against human probability. When the CIT(A) has accepted the figure of current cash sale realization of Rs. 7.12 of current year, all parties being common from whom the old realization was made should have also been accepted. 1.3 Advance received from debtors of Rs. 24,800/- (II PB 111-119): Similarly, the parties from whom advance is received in current year and they have been billed and acc .....
