..... down in the case of Kabul Chawla [ 2015 (9) TMI 80 - DELHI HIGH COURT] and Meeta Gutgutia[ 2017 (5) TMI 1224 - DELHI HIGH COURT] squarely apply. Coming to the facts of Assessment Year 2009-10, we find that the assessee has returned short term capital loss on forfeiture of convertible share warrants which was accepted as such by order dated 10.09.2010 framed u/s. 143(1) of the Act. However, in the order framed u/s. 153C of the Act, the same was disallowed. A perusal of the assessment order clearly shows that there is no nexus between the addition made in the assessment order and in the incriminating material found at the time of search - we do not find any merit in the addition made in Assessment Year 2009-10. - Decided in favour of .....

The restrictive meaning given to the word transfer by the Supreme Court decision in Vania Silk Mills P. Ltd. (1991) 191 ITR 647 has been over ruled by the larger Bench of the Supreme Court in the case of Mrs. Grace Collis (2001) 248 ITR 323. In the present case, we find that the forfeiture of the convertible warrant has resulted in extinguishment of the right of the assessee to obtain a share in BLB Ltd.
