That the learned CIT (Appeal) was not justified on facts and in law in treating net gain on sale of shares of Ankur Drugs and Pharma Ltd.and Seri International Ltd. as his income from business. 2.(i) That on the facts of the case, the dividend income as claimed by the assessee is true and correct and there is no justification of setting aside the same to the learned ITO for re-verification and disallowance of the proportionate expenses.

It was further argued that the purchase and sale of shares in case of the assessee was occasional and an independent activity, that the underlying motive was to make investment, that the assessee had maintained separate set of books of accounts,that he was engaged in the transaction of purchase and sale of shares where no delivery was taken, that the income from such transaction was offered under the head business income,that he had liquidated the investment after lapse of reasonable time that merely on the basis of turnover it could not be concluded that the assessee was doing the business of shares. 4.After considering the submission of the assessee and the assessment order,the FAA held that the AO had not appreciated certain basic facts, that the share transaction or investment in shares were not the primary source of livelihood/main activity of the assessee, that the assessee was basically engaged in the business of trading in computers,that in earlier years purchase and sale of shares was disclosed in his returns of income as STCG/LTCG, that the a .....

Therefore, upholding his order we decide ground no.1 against the AO. 6.Next ground of appeal is about .....
