Issues Involved:
1. Deletion of addition as unexplained cash credit on account of sale of shares.
2. Deletion of disallowance made on account of depreciation.
3. Deletion of disallowance made on account of interest on loan.

Issue-Wise Detailed Analysis:

1. Deletion of Addition as Unexplained Cash Credit on Account of Sale of Shares:
The Revenue appealed against the deletion of additions made by the Assessing Officer (AO) treating the sale consideration of shares as unexplained cash credit. The AO found discrepancies in the transactions based on information from the Calcutta Stock Exchange, leading him to conclude that the transactions were ingenuine and bogus. The AO asserted that the assessee used a "colourable device" in connivance with stock brokers to introduce undisclosed income as transactions in penny stocks of Bolton Properties and Blue Chip.

The assessee provided evidence including contract notes, demat account statements, and bank statements to support the genuineness of the transactions. The Ld. CIT(A) accepted the assessee's evidence and deleted the additions, stating that the AO did not provide the CD evidence from the Calcutta Stock Exchange to the assessee for explanation or cross-examination, which is a requirement under the Indian Evidence Act.

The Tribunal upheld the Ld. CIT(A)'s decision, noting that the assessee's transactions were supported by contemporary records and that the AO's reliance on the Calcutta Stock Exchange's CD without providing it to the assessee was not justified. The Tribunal found no infirmity in the Ld. CIT(A)'s order and dismissed the Revenue's appeals on this ground.

2. Deletion of Disallowance Made on Account of Depreciation:
The AO disallowed the depreciation claimed by the assessee on the grounds that the assessee failed to furnish details regarding the acquisition, transportation, installation, and use of plant and machinery. The Ld. CIT(A) directed the AO to allow the depreciation, noting that the assessee had provided bills for the acquisition of plant and machinery and that there was a substantial increase in job work charges receipts, indicating the use of the machinery.

The Tribunal upheld the Ld. CIT(A)'s decision, stating that the evidence presented by the assessee, including bills for purchase, balance sheet entries, and increased job work charges, proved that the machinery was used for business purposes during the relevant year. The Tribunal found no infirmity in the Ld. CIT(A)'s order and dismissed the Revenue's appeal on this ground.

3. Deletion of Disallowance Made on Account of Interest on Loan:
The AO disallowed the interest expenditure claimed by the assessee on the grounds that the assessee failed to explain the nexus between the loan taken and the investments made. The Ld. CIT(A) directed the AO to delete the disallowance, noting that the assessee had substantial own funds and that there was no direct nexus between the borrowed funds and the investments.

The Tribunal upheld the Ld. CIT(A)'s decision, stating that the assessee's balance sheet disclosed substantial own funds for making investments and that the borrowal of funds was low compared to the own funds. The Tribunal found no infirmity in the Ld. CIT(A)'s order and dismissed the Revenue's appeal on this ground.

Conclusion:
The Tribunal dismissed all the appeals of the Revenue, upholding the decisions of the Ld. CIT(A) on all grounds. The Tribunal found that the assessee had provided satisfactory evidence to support their claims and that the AO's disallowances were not justified. The orders of the Ld. CIT(A) were upheld in their entirety.
