..... High Court in the case of CIT vs. Gpal Purohit (supra) that delivery based transactions are to be treated as investment transaction and profit received therefrom is to be assessed under the head capital gain and there ought to be uniformity in treatment and consistency when the facts and circumstances are identical. It has been shown by the appellant that in share investment account he is booking only those shares for which he is taking delivery on purchase and there is no change in facts and circumstances of this case compared to last year i.e. AY 2005-06. Therefore, following the decision of my predecessor for AY 2005-06 and the Hon ble Bombay High Court in the case of CIT vs. Gopal Purohit (supra) and also taking into account the facts t .....
