....Y 2005-06 especially when the Tribunal has erred ignoring the "substance" over the "form" without appreciating the fact that the amount received by the assessee was shown as unsecured loan. 2. During hearing, we have heard Shri R.A. Verma, ld. Sr. DR and Shri Tribhuvan Sachdeva, ld. Counsel for the assessee. At the outset, it was asserted by the ld.

To support the contention the assessee has filed agreement to sell dated 19.1.2004 before the Assessing Officer. However, the Assessing Officer was not convinced with the same and held that the transaction was in the nature of loans and advances.

Identically, in another case before the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in CIT vs. Rajkumar (2009) 318 ITR 462 it was held that the trade advance which is in the nature of money transact....
