It was further submitted that, before making any disallowance u/s 94(7), the Assessing Officer did not bring on record any material which could prove that the assessee was indulged in dividend stripping. From the details of trade of shares of GHCL, the assessee pointed out that it was having 1,40,06,596 shares at the beginning of the relevant assessment year, i.e., as on 1.4.2008 as it was holding considerable shares from the A.Y. 2006-07 itself.

On the other hand the ld. DR strongly relied upon the findings of the Learned CIT (Appeals) and submitted that he has taken note of entire facts and after analysing the relevant provision of section 94(7) he has given a definite finding and therefore, the order of the Learned CIT (Appeals) should be affirmed. 7.

Under these facts and circumstances, we are of the considered opinion that this issue should be restored back to the file of the Assessing Officer who shall examine the details as furnished by the assessee and also examine the conditions as laid down in u/s 94(7) before disallowing the loss. The Assessing Officer shall provide proper opportunity to the assessee to substantiate its case. Thus, ground no. 1 is treated as allowed for statistical purposes. 8.

None of these fact and assessee's nature of accounts have been examined by AO or CIT (A) as per law enshrined in section 14(2). Accordingly, we are of the opinion that the whole matter regarding disallowance u/s 14A should be restored back to the file of the Assessing Officer to examine the claim of the assessee having regard to the accounts maintained by it and only after examination of such accounts, he shall proceed to record his satisfaction as per the mandate of section 14(2).
