AO without following the consistency that has been followed in the earlier years arbitrarily computed the income of the assessee on different heads as against the claim of the assessee.

When the AO has accepted in the previous assessment year that the scrips in question as stockin-trade, the AO without valid reason cannot hold that the opening stock in trade has to be treated as investment. The Ld. AR drew our attention to the scrutiny assessment carried out by the AO u/s. 143(3) of the Act for the AY 2008-09 to support the said fact. The Ld. CIT(A) has taken note of the fact that the assessee has purchased and sold the trading shares in question and have routed the transaction through P L Account.

Therefore, the ld. CIT(A\) has rightly treated the same as business income and we do not find any infirmity in the order of the ld. CIT(A) and, therefore. we dismiss this ground of appeal of the revenue. 5. In view of the same we do not find any infirmity in the order of CIT(A) and accordingly the appeal is dismissed. Ground nos. 1 and 2 raised by the revenue are dismissed. 6. In the result the appeal of the revenue is dismissed. Order pronounced in the open Court on 13.04.2018. - .....
