The case pertains to an unexplained investment u/s 69B, where an addition was made on account of cash payment for the purchase of land. The Assessing Officer relied on a 'satakat' found from the hard disk of an advocate, Turnish Kania, which matched the details of the land purchase by the assessee. The Tribunal observed that the assessee had filed detailed written submissions, contrary to the CIT(A)'s observation. Referring to the case of Kalpesh Mafatlal Patel, where a similar unsigned and undated 'satakat' found from the same advocate was held inadmissible, the Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal, stating that no addition can be made based on such a document from an unconnected person without specific queries raised. The summary highlights the evidentiary value of the 'satakat' and the principles regarding unexplained investments u/s 69B.
