2022 (9) TMI 190 - AT - Income TaxRevision u/s 263 - unexplained cash credit u/s 68 - bogus gain on sale of shares - HELD THAT:- PCIT does not state anywhere in his order as to why the purchase cost of shares would not be allowable as deduction while computing the income thereon. Without mentioning any of these facts, merely by placing reliance on the order passed by the ld. AO for Asst Year 2014-15, the ld. PCIT comes to the conclusion that the similar treatment ought to have been given by the ld. AO for Asst Year 2015-16 also. This in our considered opinion, is not the proper method for assuming revisionary jurisdiction u/s 263 of the Act. We also find that Explanation 2 to Section 263 of the Act has also not been invoked by the ld. PCIT in the instant case and hence we do not deem it fit to get into the applicability of the said Explanation to the facts of the present case before us. AO had made adequate enquiries on the gain on sale of shares of Vishwajyoti Finance Ltd during the course of assessment proceedings, on which fact, there is no dispute before us. As stated supra, the ld. PCIT had not brought any evidence on record as to why the cost of such shares would not be allowable as deduction. PCIT had merely relied on the assessment order framed for the Asst Year 2014-15. We find that the reliance placed by the ld. DR on the decision of Belazio Construction P Ltd v [2019 (9) TMI 198 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT]is not applicable to the facts of the instant case before us as it was rendered in the context of validity of reopening of assessment u/s 147 of the Act based on information obtained in earlier scrutiny assessment year. We hold that the ld. AO on examination of all the details filed before him, had taken a plausible view on the issue. Hence we have no hesitation in quashing the revision order passed by the ld. PCIT u/s 263 of the Act in the facts and circumstance of the instant case. Accordingly, the grounds raised by the assessee are allowed.
