Analysis:
Issue 1: Long Term Capital Gain Addition The appellant challenged the Tribunal's decision to delete the addition of Long Term Capital Gain made by the Assessing Officer. The Tribunal found that the transactions were genuine based on documentary evidence provided by the appellant. The Assessing Officer had treated the amount as undisclosed income, alleging that the transactions were accommodation entries to convert black money into white. However, the Tribunal and CIT(A) disagreed, stating that the transactions were supported by documents like contract notes, demat account details, and payments through a/c payee cheques. They found no evidence of cash going back into the appellant's account, and the transactions appeared genuine. The court upheld the Tribunal's decision, stating that the appellant's transactions could not be deemed non-genuine based on the evidence presented.
Issue 2: Commission and Legal Expenses The appellant also contested the deletion of additions for commission and legal expenses related to the bogus share transactions. The Tribunal and CIT(A) found the transactions to be genuine based on the evidence provided, including details of transactions, demat account information, and payments through legitimate channels. They noted that the Assessing Officer failed to counter the appellant's objections during the assessment proceedings and did not provide independent inquiry or material to prove the transactions were non-genuine. The court upheld the decision to delete these additions, as the transactions were supported by documentation and appeared genuine.
Issue 3: Applicability of Related Case The court referred to a previous decision involving similar issues to determine the current appeals. The court found that the Tribunal and CIT had correctly analyzed the facts and evidence in the present case, similar to the previous case. As a result, the court held that no substantial question of law arose, and the appeals were dismissed in favor of the assessee based on the decisions of the Tribunal and CIT.
In conclusion, the court upheld the Tribunal's decision to delete the additions of Long Term Capital Gain, commission, and legal expenses related to the bogus share transactions. The court found that the transactions were supported by evidence and genuine, based on the documentation provided by the appellant.
