It was also submitted before the AO that the assessee has purchased shares which were credited in the Demat account and the payments were made through account payee cheques. Similarly the shares were delivered on sale through Demat account and the consideration was received by cheque. However, the AO was not convinced with the submission of the assessee and after making several observation he disallowed the capital loss to the extent of ₹ 15,29,049/- by observing as under : (i) In the case of scrip of Nageshwar Investment, the transaction was not carried out on the on-line system of the Exchange.

CIT(A) on the other hand, without proper appreciation of the argument put forward by the AO during passing the order u/s. 143(3) has held that the loss incurred by the assessee on sale of shares listed on CSE was a genuine trading loss and directed to delete the additions. He lastly urged before the bench to set aside the order of the Ld. CIT(A) and restore that of AO. 5. On the other hand, the Ld. Counsel for the assessee relied on the order of the Ld.

However, the submission of the appellant was not acceptable to the AO and after making several observations in the assessment order, he has disallowed the capital loss on sale of these shares amounting to ₹ 15,29,049/- According to the AO, th .....

The AO has not brought anything on record to prove that there was any connivance between the appellant and share brokers. The AO has further observed that the companies in which the appellant has invested were not worth investing as those companies had small profit/loss and small capital base. The appellant in place of buying these shares, could have purchased shares of better companies at the prices at which he had purchased shares of small companies. In this regard, I intend to agree with the appellant that the AO cannot dictate his terms or impose his thoughts on the appellant that what he should have done and what not. From the assessment order it is apparent that the AO has disallowed the capita .....

In view of the above, I am of the opinion that the AO was not justified in disallowing the capital loss of ₹ 15,29,049/-. Subsequently, the Ld.
