....he whole transaction is a sham transaction and assessee has tried to introduce his undisclosed income in the guise of long-term capital gain. 4. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the CIT(A) erred by applying the decision of Hon'ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana delivered in the case of CIT v. Anupam Kapoor [2007] 212 CTR (P&H) 491:[2008] 299 ITR 179 (P&H) when the facts of the cases are distinguishable." 2. The assessee, on the other hand, has impugned the first appellate order on the following grounds : "(1) The learned CIT(A) erred in holding that the appellant had failed to prove that the delivery of the shares was taken in financial year 2003-04 and therefore, the gain arising on sale of shares was to be taxed as short-term capital gain by assuming the date on which the shares were transferred to the D-mat account as the date of purchase of shares. (2) The learned CIT(A) failed to appreciate that the appellant had purchased the shares of Oasis Cine Communication Ltd. on 4th April, 2003 and had also purchased the shares of Shiv Om Investment & Consultancy Ltd. on 24th Nov., 2003 and accordingly, the gain arising on sale of shar....

....rding the date of purchase of those shares as the AO was having doubt on the date of purchase of those shares as declared by the assessee. In support of declared date of acquisition of shares, the assessee had filed sufficient evidence. The assessee had purchased equity shares of (i) Oasis Cine Communication Ltd, and (ii) Shiv Om Investment & Consultancy Ltd. listed on a recognized stock exchange viz. The Calcutta Stock Exchange and the sale transaction was covered by security transaction tax. These purchases are duly disclosed in the relevant year's balance sheet. The assessee had also disclosed investment in purchase of shares in the return furnished for the preceding asst. yr. 2004-05. Thus, merely because there is some general tendency of some few traders engaged in rigging up the market, the same should not deprive the assessee from profit arising from genuine sales which has actually resulted in long-term capital gain which is exempt under s. 10(38) of the Act. The learned Authorised Representative also tried to meet out the objections raised in this regard by the authorities below which we will discuss in our finding in succeeding paras. He drew our attention to page Nos....

....e scrips of Shiv Om Investment & Consultancy Ltd. and Oasis Cine Communication Ltd. either in physical or D-mat form in the online trading system of exchange. 8. Considering the above submissions, we find that some material facts are undisputed that : (i) shares purchased were transferred into D-mat account maintained by the assessee with HDFC Bank and the shares were sold on the dates mentioned in the Table reproduced hereinabove. The only dispute is regarding the date and mode of acquisition of those shares in question. The assessee was not able to prove to the satisfaction of the authorities below that the said shares were actually purchased on various dates during the financial year 2004-05. The assessee has tried to meet out objections raised by the AO in this regard. The AO noted that the shares were credited in D-mat account on 12th April, 2005, after lapse of more than 20 to 24 months from the date of purchase contract note i.e. 4th April, 2003 and 25th Nov., 2005. The submission of the assessee in this regard remained that the assessee had purchased the shares outside stock exchange directly from the broker in physical form. The assessee was having no D-mat account when....

....v., 2008 relied upon by the AO in the assessment order, falls in asst. yr. 2009-10. Similarly, the AO had not been vigilant to mention correct name of the company in the assessment order. The name of the company is Shiv Om Investments & Consultancy Ltd. and not Shiv Communications as mentioned in the assessment order. The AO has thus proceeded on the basis of not only misleading but incorrect facts. 10. Regarding denial of stock exchange that S.B. Bhutra & Co., had not executed any trade on 2nd April, 2003 in Oasis Cine Communication Ltd. and also on 23rd Nov., 2008 (correct date is 25th Nov., 2003) in Shiv Om Communications in online trading systems of the exchange, the submission of the assessee remained that the words used "online trading system of the exchange" are very important as the assessee has also stated the same clearly to the AO in his statement that the transaction is not done by him in the online system of the exchange, but the shares were purchased outside the market through the broker. It was submitted that the AO had asked the company to confirm the share transactions. In case of Shiv Om Investments & Consultancy Ltd., the company vide its letter dt. 29th Nov.,....

.... before us, the assessee had purchased the shares outside stock exchange directly from the broker in physical form though D-mat account was opened on belated date with this explanation that at the time of purchase of shares, he was not having D-mat account and on opening of D-mat account, the shares were transferred to the same. Before the AO copies of the share certificates held by assessee in physical form were provided which contained complete relevant details such as address of registered office of the company, signatures of the authorized signatory along with two directors' signatures, value of shares with paid-up amount of shares purchased in each company, date of issue of certificate, certificate number, registered folio, number of shares with their distinctive numbers, date of transfer of shares in the name of assessee and also copies of contract notes along with bills issued by sharebroker. S.B. Bhutra & Co. The assessee also furnished returns of income along with balance sheet for the asst. yrs. 2004-05 and 2005-06 during which period, assessee claimed to have purchased those shares in question, copy of contract notes issued by the broker and confirmations given by Sh....
