The SC dismissed a Special Leave Petition challenging a Gujarat HC ruling due to an unexplained 292-day delay in filing. The underlying case concerned the Revenue's treatment of proceeds from shares of Sunrise Asian Ltd as unexplained income under s.68 rather than LTCG exempt under s.10(38). The HC had ruled in the assessee's favor, finding that exemption claims cannot be deemed bogus based on mere presumption when: (1) no evidence contradicted the assessee's position, (2) SEBI had not found the shares to be rigged, and (3) the assessee had held the shares for approximately two and a half years before selling them.
