On perusal of the above cited decisions, we find that so far as the legal principle is concerned, the provisions of section 14A are not applicable to the dividend earned out of the shares held as stock-in-trade as held by the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka in the case of M/s.

The Assessing Officer while making the assessment under section 115JB of the Act, stated that rebate under section 88E of the Act is not allowable to the assessee while computation u/s 115JB of the Act. In this regard, Ld Counsel mentioned that the Assessing Officer has not given credit to the tax paid u/s 88E of the Act while invoking the provisions of section 115JB of the Act and the same is against the ratio of the judgment of the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court in the case of CIT Another vs. M/s.

A similar issue has come up before the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court in the case of M/s. Horizon Capital Limited (supra).

Since this issue is squarely covered in favour of the assessee by the decision of the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court in the case of M/s. Horizon Capital Limited (supra), we do not find any infirmity in the order of the Ld CIT (A). Hence, ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
