He made an addition of the entire sale proceeds of the shares as income and rejected the claim of exemption made u/s 10(38) of the Act. The evidence produced by the assessee in support of the genuineness of the transaction was rejected. 3. The assessee carried the matter in appeal and the ld. CIT(A), had upheld the addition. The ld. CIT(A) has in his order relied upon "circumstantial evidence" and "human probabilities" to uphold the findings of the AO. He also relied on the so called "rules of suspicious transaction". No direct material was found to controvert the evidence filed by the assessee, in support of the genuineness of the transactions.

UNNO Industries Ltd. have been disallowed on the basis of report of the investigation wing of Kolkata. However, the AO has failed to bring any evidence on record to show that the statutory agencies have alleged in stock manipulation by the assessee or the brokers or the company's scrips in question at the time when the assessee made the sale.
