The assessee challenged the above said addition by filing appeal before the learned CIT(A). The first appellate authority noticed that the transactions of purchase and sale of shares were carried out on recognized stock exchange Sanjay Mahabir Maheshka through registered broker. Further purchase and sale of shares have been carried out through the Demat Account of the assessee. Accordingly he agreed with the submissions of the assessee that there was no reason to suspect the genuineness of the transactions. The learned CIT(A) further placed reliance on the following case laws :- * ITO Vs. Indravadan Jain (HUF) (ITA No. 4861/Mum/2014) (Mum-Tri) * CIT Vs. Orchid Industries Ltd.

Mr.Sureshkumar seriously complained that such finding rendered concurrently should not have been interfered with by the Tribunal. In further Appeal, the Tribunal proceeded not by analyzing this material and concluding that findings of fact concurrently rendered by the Assessing Officer and the Commissioner are perverse. The Tribunal proceeded on the footing that onus was on the Department to nail the Assessee through a proper evidence and that there was some cash transaction through these suspected brokers, on whom there was an investigation conducted by the Department.

If the purchase and sale of shares are reflected in the Assessee's DMAT account, yet they are termed as arranged transactions and projected to be real, then, such conclusion which has been reached by the Commissioner and the Assessing Officer required a deeper scrutiny. It was also revealed during the course of inquiry by the Assessing Officer that the Calcutta Stock Exchange records showed that the shares were purchased for code numbers S003 and R121 of Sagar Trade Pvt Ltd. and Rockey Marketing Pvt. Ltd. respectively. Out of these two, only Rockey Marketing Pvt.Ltd. is listed in the apprais .....
