..... ing rise to such capital gains. Though the assessee has received the amounts by way of account payee cheques, the transactions cannot be treated as genuine in the presence of the overwhelming evidences put forward by the Revenue. The fact that in spite of earning such steep profits, the assessee never ventured to involve himself in any other transaction with the broker cannot be a mere coincidence of lack of interest.

..... er relied on the order of the Co-ordinate Bench of ITAT in the case of Swati Luthra in ITA No. 6480/2017 wherein the case was decided in favour of the assessee on the grounds that Revenue could not point out any specific defect with regard to the documents submitted by the assessee. He relied on in the case of AA Estates Pvt. Ltd. in CA No. 3968 of 2019 (SC) and Yes Bank Ltd. CA No. 3148 of 2019 (SC) regarding the question of law. The ld. AR also tried to differentiate the case of Udit Kalra Vs ITO (ITA No. 6717/Del/2017) on the grounds that the referral value of this case goes away for the time being as the High Court has not framed any question of law. He tried to differentiate while the shares involved in the case of Udit Kalra are of Kappac Pharma Ltd. which was suspended temporarily by the SEBI, the present case involved shares of Cressanda Solutions Ltd.

Reliance is placed on the judgment in the case of Nipun Builders and Developers Pvt. Ltd. (supra), where it was held that it is the duty of the Tribunal to scratch the surface and probe the documentary evidence in depth, in the light of the conduct of assessee and other surrounding circumstances in order to see whether the assessee is liable to the provisions of section 68 or not.
