D.R. Dhanuka, J.1. By this reference under section 256(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal has referred the following question to this court for its opinion : 'Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Tribunal was justified in holding that the assessee's explanation as regards the nature and source of the sum of 3,57,000 Hong Kong dollars appearing as his capital in his Hong Kong balance-sheet as on March 31, 1969, was not satisfactorily explained and, consequently, the said sum was assessable as his income from undisclosed sources for the assessment year 1959-60 ?' 2.
