In the facts of the present case, the assessee during the year under consideration had disclosed income from long term capital gains at ₹ 6,17,14,300/-. The Assessing Officer was of the view that brought forward losses accruing from sale of shares in the relevant assessment years totaling ₹ 1,79,71,926/- were required to be adjusted against income earned from profit on sale of shares. The Assessing Officer requisitioned the assessee why the said adjustment should not be made for. In reply, it was clarified by the Ld.
