Facts Summary

The appellants, directors of M/s Pothys Pvt. Ltd., were assessed for unaccounted income based on cash ledgers found during a search. The AO recorded satisfaction that the seized material related to the appellants, but the appellants argued that the seized material pertained to the partnership firm M/s Pothys and not to them.
