..... actions which the Revenue alleged were speculative. Given that the Revenue s appeal has been remitted, the ITAT s approach in our opinion was not correct. Accordingly, the assessee s question with respect to the verification of the transactions and the correlation with specific contracts shall be examined having regard to the assessee s contentions as well. We are of the considered view that since the identical issues for AY 2010-11 are already pending adjudication by the AO having been remanded by the Hon ble Delhi High Court, the same issues qua for the year under assessment are also required to be remanded back to the AO to decide in accordance with the order passed by the Hon ble High Court.

It is also observed by the AO that the assessee has not disputed that it is indulged in the derivative of gold and foreign currency which is treated as speculative transaction under section 43(5) of the Act. Declining the contentions raised by the assessee, AO proceeded to conclude that the assessee has failed to establish that the transaction carried out by the assessee firm are for hedging purpose and not speculative transaction and thereby made an addition of ₹ 1,04,25,309.

The contention was declined on the ground that no correlation between the forward contract transactions of gold and corresponding purchases and export of jewellery was established to satisfy the requirements of law.
