The appellant craved leave to add, alter, amend or withdraw all or any of the foregoing grounds of appeal herein and to submit such statements, documents or papers considered necessary either at or before hearing of the appeal." 3. The only grievance raised by the assessee, in the present appeal, is against the addition made under section 68 of the Act by treating the short- term capital gains earned by the assessee from sale of shares as bogus. 4. The brief facts of the case are that the assessee is an individual and for the year under consideration filed its return of income on 25/07/2012 declaring a total income of INR 26,71,714.

However, no information is brought on record by the Revenue whether these individuals are the exit providers for the assessee. 9.
