That order passed by Ld AO dated 26/12/2016 and further order passed by ld CIT A dated 23/03/2018 are bad in law in as much as notice u/s 143(2) on basis of CASS is not in accordance with jurisdictional conditions stipulated under the Act. 1.1 That order passed by Ld AO dated 26/12/2016 and further order passed by ld CIT A dated 23/03/2018 are bad in law in as much as assessment is framed on basis of invalid notice u/s 143(2) dated 30.09.2015 which is apparently not served on same day by speed post before time barring date as stipulated under the Act. 1.2 That order passed by Ld AO dated 26/12/2016 and further order passed ....

Counsel for the Assessee stated that the issue involved in these appeals have already been decided in favour of the assessee by the plethora of decisions and produced the copies thereof passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court & Hon'ble High Courts and ITAT wherein, similar views of lower authorities on basis of probabilities and stated investigation wing information, have been consistently overruled and exemption claimed u/s 10(38) of the Act has been restored once basic documents relating to transaction are put in place and same remained thoroughly undoubted by any direct enquiry on part of AO/Ld CIT-A. Ld. counsel for the assessee also filed the Written submissions and pleaded that similar view may be applied here also on basis of principle of uniformity and consistency and additions made u/s 68 may please be deleted. 6.

....er and the broker was suspended for some time. It is the assessee's contention that even though there are allegations against the broker, and for that reason the assessee cannot be held liable on this point, the tribunal held that - "As a matter of fact the AO doubted the integrity of the broker and the broker firm and also AO observed that the assessee had not furnished any explanation in respect of any discussion of trading of shares. The AO relied the loss of Rs. 25,30,396/- only on the basis of information submitted by stock as fictitious. The AO has also not doubted the genuineness of the documents placed by the assessee on record. The AO's observation and conclusion are merely based on information. Therefore on such basis, no disallowance can be made and accordingly we find no infirmity in the order of the ld. CiT(A), who has rightly allowed the claim of the assessee. This ground no.1 of the revenue is dismissed." We agree with the reasoning of the tribunal on this point also. We do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order. The suggested question, in our opinion do not raise any substantial question of law." 3. The Hon'ble Calcutta High Court....

..../c. When the relevant documents are available the fact of transactions entered into cannot be denied simply on the ground that in his statement the appellant denied having made any transactions in shares. The payments and receipts are made through a/c payee cheques and the transactions are routed through Kolkata Stock Exchange. There is no evidence that the cash has gone back in appellants's account. Prima facie the transaction which are supported by documents appear to be genuine transactions. The AO has discussed modus operandi in some sham transactions which were detected in the search case of B.C. Purohit Group. The AO has also stated in the assessment order itself while discussing the modus operandi that accommodation entries of long term capital gain were purchased as long term capital gain either was exempted from tax or was taxable at a lower rate. As the appellant's case is of short term capital gain, it does not exactly fall under that category of accommodation transactions. Further as per the report of DCIT, Central Circle-3 Sh. P.K. Agarwal was found to be an entry provider as stated by Sh. Pawan Purohit of B.C. Purihit and Co. group. ....

The probable factors could have gone against the assessee only if there would have been some evidence found from several searches either conducted by DRI or by the department that Assessee Company was beneficiary of any such accounts. At least something would have been unearthed from such global level investigation by two Central Government authorities. In case of certain donations given to a Church, originating through these benami bank accounts on the behest of one of the employees of the assessee company, does not implicate that GTC as a corporate entity was having the control of these bank accounts completely. Without going into the authenticity and veracity of the statements of the witnesses Smt. Nirmala Sundaram, we are of the opinion that this one incident of donation through bank accounts at the direction of one of the employee of the Company does not implicate that the entire premium collected all throughout the country and deposited in Benami bank accounts actually belongs ....

....imply that cash was paid by the assessee and in return the assessee received LTCG, which is income exempt from income tax, by way of cheque through Banking channels. This allegation that cash had changed hands, has to be proved with evidence, by the revenue. Evidence gathered by the Director Investigation's office by way of statements recorded etc. has to also be brought on record in each case, when such a statement, evidence etc. is relied upon by the revenue to make any additions. Opportunity of cross examination has to be provided to the assessee, if the AO relies on any statements or third party as evidence to make an addition. If any material or evidence is sought to be relied upon by the AO, he has to confront the assessee with such material. The claim of the assessee cannot be rejected based on mere conjectures unverified by evidence under the pretentious garb of preponderance of human probabilities and theory of human behavior by the department. 14. It is well settled that evidence collected from third parties cannotbe used against an assessee unless this evidence is put before him and he is given an opportunity to controvert the evidence. In this case, the AO relies only o....

....ations. Courts of law are bound to go by evidence. 16. We find that the assessing officer as well as the Ld. CIT(A) has been guided by the report of the investigation wing prepared with respect to bogus capital gains transactions. However, we do not find that the assessing officer as well as the Ld. CIT(A), have brought out any part of the investigation wing report in which the assessee has been investigated and /or found to be a part of any arrangement for the purpose of generating bogus long term capital gains. Nothing has been brought on record to show that the persons investigated, including entry operators or stock brokers, have named that the assessee was in collusion with them. In absence of such finding how is it possible to link their wrong doings with the assessee. In fact, the investigation wing is a separate department which has not been assigned assessment work and has been delegated the work of only making investigation. The Act has vested widest powers on this wing. It is the duty of the investigation wing to conduct proper and detailed inquiry in any matter where there is allegation of tax evasion and after making proper inquiry and collecting prop....

....lai account) could not legitimately lead to the inference that the profit in a single transaction or in a chain of transactions could exceed the amounts, involved in the high denomination notes,---this also was a pure conjecture or surmise on the part of the Income-tax Officer. As regards the disclosed volume of business in the year under consideration in the head office and in branches the Incometax Officer indulged in speculation when he talked of the possibility of the appellant earning a considerable sum as against which it showed a net loss of about Rs. 45,000. The Income-tax Officer indicated the probable source or sources from which the appellant could have earned a large amount in the sum of Rs. 2,91,000 but the conclusion which he arrived at in regard to the appellant having earned this large amount during the year and which according to him represented the secreted profits of the appellant in its business was e result of pure conjectures and surmises on his part and had no foundation in fact and was not proved against the appellant on the record of the proceedings. If the conclusion of the Income-tax Officer was thus either perverse or vitiated by suspicions, conjectures ....

....saction cannot be accepted at all. The ld CIT(A) ought not to have brushed aside these documents without pointing out any defects and therefore the impugned action of ld CIT(A) cannot be countenanced. Moreover the AO has referred in his assessment order the name of M/s. Kailash Auto and M/s. Unno Industries and also statements of Shri L.K. Agarwal and Shri Goutam Bose and Shri S. Dokania. However these persons statements have neither been reproduced in the assessment order nor the assessee given a copy of the statements to rebut. So the action of both AO and ld CIT(A) referring to statements which were purportedly recorded under oath by the Investigation Wing cannot be made the basis for drawing adverse inference against the assessee. Thus the action of AO to refer to certain purported statements of the three individuals without establishing any nexus with the assessee can at best mislead or create suspicion and reference to irrelevant material itself makes the order bad. Not only that the AO has not even bothered to give a copy of the same to the assessee and did not give an opportunity to the assessee to cross examine those persons itself vitiates the action of the AO and the ord....

In the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, we hold that the ld.

....been dealt with in detail by the CIT (Appeals) and the Tribunal. Firstly, the documents on which the Assessing Officer relied upon in the appeal were not put to the assessee during the assessment proceedings. The CIT (Appeals) nevertheless considered them in detail and found that there was no co-relation between the amounts sought to be added and the entries in those documents. This was on an appreciation of facts. There is nothing to indicate that the same was perverse or irrational. Accordingly, no question of law arises. 7. In the circumstances, the appeal is dismissed." 20. I find the Co-ordinate Bench of the Tribunal in the case of Smt. Shikha Dhawan (supra) has deleted similar addition by observing as under :- "8.

CIT(A) upheld the action of the Assessing Officer. On further appeal by the assessee, the Tribunal deleted the addition made by the Assessing Officer u/s 68 by observing as under :- "8.

This is clear from the fact that the AO refers to some 'Sharp Trading Compnay' as one of the main ,manipulated company and whereas the assessee sold scrips in Unno Industries Ltd.

The transactions were as per norms under controlled by the Securities Transaction Tax, brokerage service tax and cess, which were already paid. They were complied with. All the transactions were through bank. There is no iota of evidence over the above transactions as it were through demat format. Hence, we agree with the given findings of the ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) in accepting the transactions as genuine too. In view of the fact findings we cannot reappreciate, recording is such, cannot be said to be perverse as it is not fact finding of the ld. Tribunal alone.

The Hon'ble Jurisdictional High Court, affirmed the decision of the Tribunal wherein it was found that the chain of transactions entered into by the assessee have been proved, accounted for, documented and supported by evidence. It was also found that the assessee produced the contract notes, details of demat accounts and produced documents showing all payments were received by the assessee through banks. On these facts, the appeal of the revenue was summarily dismissed by High Court. 8.4.

AO relied the loss of Rs. 25,30,396/- only on the basis of information submitted by the Stock fictitious. AO has also not doubted the genuineness of the documents placed on record by the assessee.

It also discounted the Revenue's submissions that the investment shown in the book of accounts and reflected as assets in the side of the balance sheet, should have been properly treated and that in the absence of such treatment .Section 68 applies.

Learned counsel for the Revenue reiterated the grounds cited in some of the contentions made before the ITAT.
