The appeal of the Assessing Officer was dismissed, while the appeal of the assessee was allowed.Separate Judgment by Judges:No separate judgment was delivered by the judges in this case.This judgment by the Appellate Tribunal ITAT Kolkata addressed issues related to the application of Section 14A of the IT Act, enhancement of book profit u/s.115JB, and treatment of derivative transaction losses.
