However, as has already been noted above, no gold jewellery was seized from the assessee. Thus, the case of the assessee and his brother, Ravindra Kishore was same and identical.

..... ifference in the nature of the entries or the manner in which the same have been recorded in respect to Manoj and Salil.

The document having been read by the Tribunal in favour of the assessee's brother, we do not see how the Tribunal could have read it differently in the case of the present assessee.
