..... utta, which itself raises doubt about the genuineness of the transaction. The entities/ companies, whose shares were traded on exchange namely M/s.Bolton Properties Ltd., Prime Capital and M/s.Mantra were not having sufficient business activities justifying the increase in their shares prices. The Commissioner, therefore, concluded that certain operators and brokers devised a scheme to convert the unaccounted money of the Assessee to accounted income and the Assessee utilized this scheme. Therefore, the claim that the Assessee earned capital gain was disallowed and addition of ₹ 25,93,150/- made under section 68 of the IT Act was upheld. 3.

It interfered because it was required to interfere with them as the Commissioner and the Assessing Officer failed to note some relevant and germane material. In these circumstances, he submits that the Appeals do not raise any substantial question of law and deserve to be dismissed. 5. We have perused the concurrent findings and on which heavy reliance is placed by Mr.Sureshkumar. While it is true that the Commissioner extensively referred to the correspondence and the contents of the report of the Investigation carried out in paras 20, 20.1, 20.2 and 21 of his order, what was important and vital for the purpose of the present case was whether the transactions in shares were genuine or sham and bogus. .....

Even the additional question cannot be said to be substantial question of law, because it arises in the context of same transactions, dealings, same investigation and same charge or allegation of accommodation of unaccounted money being converted into accounted or regular as such. The relevant details pertaining to the shares were already on record. This question is also a fall out of the issue or question dealt with by the Tribunal and pertaining to the addition of ₹ 25,93,150/-. Barring the figure of loss that is stated to have been taken, no distinguishable feature can be or could be placed on record.
