Pr. CIT has not done in this case, though all facts were furnished before him. The action of AO, who has conducted enquiry on the issue and called for documents and after examination has not drawn any adverse view against the assessee, cannot be held to be erroneous as well as prejudicial to the revenue since the assessment order cannot be found to be erroneous as well as prejudicial on the fair market value of shares, the condition precedent to invoke rev .....
