I have observed that no addition has been made by the AO with respect to the reasons recorded for reopening of the concluded assessee which formed the belief of the AO that income has escaped assessment to the tune of Rs. 1,37,45,896/- towards purchase of shares, for which case of the assessee was reopened with respect to the alleged investment of Rs. 1,37,45,896/- made by the assessee in the share transactions. Before me, it is explained by ld. Counsel for the assessee that the assessee has not made any investment in the shares, but rather the assessee has entered into the transactions in Futures and Options(F&O), and contracts are squared up in settlement wherein profits/loss was offered for taxation. In any case, it is observed that no additions has been made in reassessment proceedings by the AO with respect to the alleged sources of investment made by the assessee to the tune of Rs. 1,37,45,896/- in shares, as was claimed by the Revenue in the reasons recorded for reopening of the concluded assessment by invoking provision of Section 147 which formed the belief for reopening of the concluded assessment. The assessee's contention t .....
