..... corroborate the transaction in question. Thus I am of the opinion in the facts discussed supra, the AO was not justified in assessing the sale proceeds of shares as undisclosed income. Therefore, respectfully following the order of coordinate bench in Om Prakash Mundhra 2019 (3) TMI 559 - ITAT KOLKATA] and the finding of facts as stated in (supra) am inclined to set aside the order of Ld. CIT(A) and direct the AO not to treat the long term capital on sale of shares of M/s JIL and also the commission expenses as bogus and delete the consequential additions. Therefore, the appeal of assessee is allowed. - I.T.A. No. 1812/Kol/2018 - - - Dated:- 23-8-2019 - Shri A. T. Varkey, JM For the Appellant : Shri Subash Agarwal, Advocate For the Respondent : Shri Sankar Halder, JCIT, Sr. DR ORDER PER SHRI A.T.VARKEY, JM Both these appeals preferred by the different assessee are against the separate orders of Ld. CIT(A), Siliguri dated 03.07.2018 and 04.07.2018 for AY 2015-16 respectively. Since grounds are common and facts are identical, both these appeals are disposed of .....

..... . The AO on perusal of the financial results of M/s. JIL took note that for last few years including years from purchase to sale, financial health of the company had been deteriorating continuously or not increased significantly. However, the AO wondered as to how the share price and market capitalization of the scrip was shooting up almost vertically. According to AO, all the blue chip companies which are present in the Sensex, the sensitive index of the BSE, which have bulk market share in terms of market capitalization and business such as Reliance Industries Ltd, Larsen Tubro Ltd, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. Coal India Ltd, were not even able to double their price in the market during the same period. On the other hand, JACKSON INVESTMENTS LTD which has almost zero fundamental strength has shot up more than 30 times in a short span of time. This, according to AO was because, the parallel forces of accommodation entry providers were actively participating with their pre-settled game plan. Further, Scrips of JACKSON INVESTMENTS LTD has been barred from the Stock exchanges on the direction from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, as it has been identified as a 'shell com .....

..... s and added in the total income for the Asstt Year 2015-16 within the scope of section 68 of the Act. Considering the reply of the assessee, AO did not accept the assessee s claim of LTCG and exemption thereof claimed by the assessee. Thereafter, the AO treated the same as cash credit u/s 68 of the Act and added the entire LTCG to the income of the assessee and also the commission expenses as unexplained income. On first appeal, the Ld. CIT(A) dismissed the grounds raised by the assessee against his claim of exemption u/s 10(38) of the Act and also confirmed the additions on account of commission expenses made by the AO under section 69 of the Act. Aggrieved, the assessee is in appeal before this Tribunal. 4. I have heard rival submissions and gone through the facts and circumstances of the case. At the time of hearing the Ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that the assessee had purchased 6,000 numbers of shares of M/s. JIL on 12.10.2011 at a total consideration of ₹ 60,000/- from M/s. Uttam Commodities Pvt. Ltd. (copy of the purchase bill, money receipt, share transfer advice and share certificate are available in the paper book at pages 9 to 13). Therea .....

..... s Tribunal in the case of Omprakash Mundhra Ors Vs. ITO in ITA No. 2235/Kol/2018 (supra) have decided that the scrips of M/s. JIL are not bogus and held that the LTCG claim of the assessee needs to be allowed. In the said order, the Tribunal has held as under: 3. I find in this lead case ITA No.2235/Kol/2018 that the assessee had declared his LTCG of ₹6,19,319/- derived from transfer of shares held in Jackson Investments Ltd. Learned Departmental Representative invites my attention to a voluminous exercise undertaken by the Assessing Officer involving a long drawn process of stock market prices rigging in collusion with in the various entity operators. He takes me to assessment order indicating the assessee to have allegedly invested her money in Jackson Investments Ltd. not having any sound financial position or business activity so as to justify the LTCG in issue. Case law Sumati Dayal vs. CIT 214 ITR 801 (SC) and CIT vs. Durga Prasad More (1971) 82 ITR (SC) is quoted in support to plead that both the lower authorities have made it clear in their respective order(s) about the assessee having acted in collus .....

..... n 1 LTCG companies during the period when the shares were made to rise which implies that they had contributed to such price rise. viii. Names of most of the LTCG companies are changed during the period of the scam. ix. Most of the companies split the face value of shares [this is probably done to avoid the eyes of market analysts]. x. The volume of trade jumps manifold immediately when the market prices of shares reach at optimum level so as to result in LTCG assured to the beneficiaries. This maximum is reached around the time when the initial allottees have held the shares for one year or little more and thus, their gain on sale of such shares would be eligible for exemption from Income Tax. xi. An analysis of share buyers of some of LTCG companies was done to see if there were common persons/entities involved in buying the bogus inflated shares. It was noted that there were many common buyers [which were paper companies]. xii. The prices of the shares fall very sharply after the shares of LTCG beneficiaries have been off loaded through the pre-arranged transactions on the Stock Exchange floor/p .....

No evidence was controverted by the Assessing Officer. 11. The Kolkata Bench of the ITAT in a number of decisions have, on similar facts and circumstances of the case, decided the issue in favour of the assessee. We list some of these decisions:- Shri Gautam Kumar Pincha vs. ITO, ITA No. 569/Kol/2017, dt. 15/11/2017 ITO vs. Shri Shaleen khemani, ITA No. 1945/Kol/2014, dt. 18/10/2017 Mahendra Kumar Baid vs. ACIT, Circle-35; ITA No. 1237/Kol/2017; order dt. 18/08/2017 Kiran Kothari HUF vs. ITO, ITA No. 443/kol/2017, order dt. 15/11/2017 The Hon ble Jurisdictional High Court on similar facts, had in the following cases, upheld the claim of .....

Evidence gathered by the Director Investigation s office by way of statements recorded etc. has to also be brought on record in each case, when such a statement, evidence etc. is relied upon by the revenue to make any additions. Opportunity of cross examination has to be provided to the assessee, if the AO relies on any statements or third party as evidence to make an addition. If any material or evidence is sought to be relied upon by the AO, he has to confront the assessee with such material. The claim of the assessee cannot be rejected based on mere conjectures unverified by evidence under the pretentious garb of preponderance of human probabilities and theory of human behavior by the department. 14. It is well settled that evidence collected from third parties cannot be used against an assessee unless this evidence is put before him and he is given an opportunity to controvert the evidence. In this case, the AO relies only on a report as the basis for the addition. The evidence based on whic .....

..... pose of generating bogus long term capital gains. Nothing has been brought on record to show that the persons investigated, including entry operators or stock brokers, have named that the assessee was in collusion with them. In absence of such finding how is it possible to link their wrong doings with the assessee. In fact the investigation wing is a separate department which has not been assigned assessment work and has been delegated the work of only making investigation. The Act has vested widest powers on this wing. It is the duty of the investigation wing to conduct proper and detailed inquiry in any matter where there is allegation of tax evasion and after making proper inquiry and collecting proper evidences the matter should be sent to the assessment wing to assess the income as per law. We find no such action executed by investigation wing against the assessee. In absence of any finding specifically against the assessee in the investigation wing report, the assessee cannot be held to be guilty or linked to the wrong acts of the persons investigated. In this case, in our view, the Assessing Officer at best could have considered the investigation report as a starting point o .....

..... appellant earning a considerable sum as against which it showed a net loss of about ₹ 45,000. The Incometax Officer indicated the probable source or sources from which the appellant could have earned a large amount in the sum of ₹ 2,91,000 but the conclusion which he arrived at in regard to the appellant having earned this large amount during the year and which according to him represented the secreted profits of the appellant in its business was the result of pure conjectures and surmises on his part and had no foundation in fact and was not proved against the appellant on the record of the proceedings. If the conclusion of the Income-tax Officer was thus either perverse or vitiated by suspicions, conjectures or surmises, the finding of the Tribunal was equally perverse or vitiated if the Tribunal took count of all these probabilities and without any rhyme or reason and merely by a rule of thumb, as it were, came to the conclusion that the possession of 150 high denomination notes of ₹ 1,000 each was satisfactorily explained by the appellant but not that of the balance of 141 high denomination notes of ₹ 1,000 each .

The Court held that such a request could not be turned down, as the denial of the right to cross-examine, would amount to a denial of the right to be heard i.e. audi alteram partem. 28. The meaning of providing a reasonable opportunity to show cause against an action proposed to be taken by the government, is that the government servant is afforded a reasonable opportunity to defend himself against the charges, on the basis of which an inquiry is held. The government servant should be given an opportunity to deny his guilt and establish his innocence. He can do so only when he is told what the charges against him are. He can therefore, do so by cross-examining the witnesses produced against him. The object of supplying statements is that, the government servant will be able to refer to the previous statements of the witnesses proposed to be examined against him. Unless the said statements are provided to the government servant, he will not be able to conduct an effective and useful cross-examination. 29. In Rajiv Arora v. Union of India and Ors.

..... ly mentioned that such an opportunity was sought by the Assessee. However, no such opportunity was granted and the aforesaid plea is not even dealt with by the Adjudicating Authority. As far as the Tribunal is concerned, we find that rejection of this plea is totally untenable. The Tribunal has simply stated that cross-examination of the said dealers could not have brought out any material which would not be in possession of the Appellant themselves to explain as to why their ex-factory prices remain static. It was not for the Tribunal to have guess work as to for what purposes the Appellant wanted to cross-examine those dealers and what extraction the Appellant wanted from them. 6. As mentioned above, the Appellant had contested the truthfulness of the statements of these two witnesses and wanted to discredit their testimony for which purpose it wanted to avail the opportunity of cross-examination. That apart, the Adjudicating Authority simply relied upon the price list as maintained at the depot to determine the price for the purpose of levy of excise duty. Whether the goods were, in fact, sold to the said dealers/witnesses at the price which is mentioned in th .....

That being the position, Tribunal having analyzed the set of facts in coming to its finding, we do not think there is any scope of interference with the order of the Tribunal in exercise of our jurisdiction under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. No substantial question of law is involved in this appeal. The appeal and the stay petition, accordingly, shall stand dismissed. b) The JAIPUR ITAT in the case of VIVEK AGARWAL [ITA No. 292/JP/2017] order dated 06.04.2018 held as under vide Page 9 Para 3: We hold that the addition made by the AO is merely based on suspicion and surmises without any cogent material to controvert the evidence filed by the assessee in support of the claim. Further, the AO has also failed to establish that the assessee has brought back his unaccounted income in the shape of long term capital gain. Hence we delete the addition made by the AO on this account. c) The Hon ble Punjab and Haryana High Court in the case of PREM PAL GANDHI [ITA-95- 2017 (O M)] dated 18.01.2018 at vide Page 3 Para 4 he .....

These evidences were neither found by the AO nor by the ld. CIT (A) to be false or fictitious or bogus. The facts of the case and the evidence in support of the evidence clearly support the claim of the assessee that the transactions of the assessee were genuine and the authorities below was not justified in rejecting the claim of the assessee that income from LTCG is exempted u/s 10(38) of the Act. Further in Page 15 Para 8.5 of the judgment, it held: We note that the ld.

We find that the ld DR could not controvert the arguments of the ld AR with contrary material evidences on record and merely relied on the orders of the ld AO. We find that the allegation that the assessee and / or Brokers getting involved in price rigging of SOICL shares fails. It is also a matter of record that the assessee furnished all evidences in the form of bills, contract notes, demat statements and the bank accounts to prove the genuineness of the transactions relating to purchase and sale of shares resulting in LTCG. These evidences were neither found by the ld AO to be false or fabricated.

The shares were in a nondescript company, with no financial and/or physical assets of value or reported earnings. The shares, purchased at an average rate of ₹ 21.70 per share in May 2004, went up to as much as from ₹ 465 to ₹ 489 in July, 2005, i.e., just over years' time.
