The ITAT held that merely huge profits from share transactions do not make the scrips penny stocks. Despite the financials being incommensurate with purchase/sale prices and characteristics of penny stocks existing, the Revenue failed to link the assessee to dubious transactions, price rigging or establish involvement as entry/exit provider. Absent any material against the assessee's role beyond being an investor for quick profits, the ITAT decided in the assessee's favor, overturning the AO's addition treating share gains as bogus u/s 68, which was based on presumptions and human probabilities without substantiation.
