Held that assessment order without DIN but separately intimated to assessee is valid as per Supreme Court order. Approval of draft assessment order mentioned, no presumption of mechanical approval. Arguments on satisfaction note, surmises, natural justice dealt with in other grounds. Regarding unaccounted money on flat sales, addition based on seized document and statement not admitting cash receipt by assessee. Cross-examination of person whose statement relied upon not provided, violating natural justice principles as per Supreme Court. Statement after search not sufficient for addition without corroborative evidence. CIT(A) erred in confirming addition. Directed to delete entire addition. Assessee's appeal allowed.
