However, the assessee sold the shares of the company owned by him and also resigned from the post of director during the concerned previous year i.e. 2007-08. As the ld AO noticed the fact of assessee being beneficial owner of more than 10 % shares having voting power, so he was of view that the whole loan/ advance received from the company was liable for the deemed dividend in the hands of the assessee as per provisions of section 2(22)(e) of the Act.

We have heard the rival submission and perused the material on records. In ground Nos. 1 and 2 , the assessee has challenged addition of deemed dividend.
