By the time the assessment was taken up, the investor died. The daughter-in-law of the deceased submitted that her mother-in-law would have made such investment out of cash in hand. In fact, the specific submission made by the daughter-in-law before the AO was that her husband, the son of the investor, died in the year 1965 and her father-in-law died in 1975.
