The assessee has raised the following ground of appeal 1. That the Worthy Commissioner of Income Tax(Appeals), has erred in giving directions to assess income from sale and purchase of shares in respect of shares bought on or after 08.12.2004 as trading activity. 2.

The assessee is in appeal against the said direction of the CIT (Appeals). The learned A.R. for the assessee after taking us through the order of the Assessing Officer pointed out that the assessee is not engaged in any trading activity in shares. Our attention was drawn to the Paper Book filed with computation of income at page 2 of the Paper Book in which it was pointed out that the assessee is a partner with M/s Eastman International and M/s R.K.Cloth Mills and is managing the business on day to day basis.

In the totality of the facts and circumstances of the assessee we are of the view that the assessee having made investment in the purchase of shares, the gain arising from the sale of the said shares is to be included under the head income from capital gain in the hands of the assessee.
