Appeal granted, CIT(A)'s decision overturned in favor of assessee. Loss on sale of shares deemed justified.
The Tribunal allowed the appeal, overturning the CIT(A)'s decision and ruling in favor of the assessee. The disallowance of the loss on the sale of shares of VAS Infrastructure Limited for A.Y. 2012-13 was deemed unjustified due to insufficient evidence supporting the disallowance and the genuine nature of the business loss claimed by the assessee.
Issues: Appeal against CIT(A) order confirming disallowance of loss on sale of shares of Vas Infrastructure Limited for A.Y. 2012-13.
Analysis: 1. The assessee, engaged in shares and securities business, filed return for A.Y. 2011-12 showing total loss.
