The Learned CIT(A) is erred in not considering the proportionate expenses of Rs.2,82,873/- out of the expenses capitalized in the assessment year 2004-05." 2. Apropos Ground No.1, the activity of the assessee regarding sale and purchase of shares was considered as speculative activity in respect of assessment year 2007-08 vide assessment order passed under section 143(3) of the Income Tax Act,1961(the Act), copy of which is placed at pages 1 to 5 of the paper book.
