The shares of the company in the subsequent years had been transferred to certain related persons which also indicates that the share capital received was not genuine. The crux of the order is that the AO was not justified in accepting the contention of the assessee and the order so passed is erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of Revenue and therefore, the order was set aside to make fresh examination of the genuineness of the share application money U/s 68 of the Act. 9.
