ITAT allowed the assessee's appeal and quashed the revisional order passed u/s 263. It was held that the AO had conducted adequate enquiry regarding the purchase and sale of listed shares, including verification of banking records, demat statements, broker confirmations, and STT-paid transactions. The assessee was found to be a regular investor, and the source of funds and genuineness of the transactions were duly established.

Consequently, the addition contemplated u/s 68 did not survive.
