..... A.Y. 2004-05 is placed at page no.28 of paper book. As per this chart it is clear that the appellant sold 401521 shares which was purchased by him in 1986-87, 1987-88 1999- 2000. These shares were sold against the cheque payment, the appellant received from his wife. Selling the shares to wife does not amount to a sham transaction. It is a genuine and actual deal of sale of shares at face value to wife and the loss occurred mainly due to indexation of the cost to appellant.

..... net book value of the company has reduced between 31st March, 2003 to 31st March, 2004 and the break up value of the share is even less than the book value of the shares at which the assessee has sold the shares. The learned CIT(A) has upheld the action of the Assessing Officer on the ground that the transaction of sale of shares is a sham transaction.
