..... d the said aspect also while disposing the appeal preferred by the revenue, especially because the order of the First Appellate Authority, that was impugned by the revenue before it, was in favour of the appellant herein. Thus, while we uphold the finding of the Tribunal that the charge of Short Term Capital Gains, in the instant case, has to be as mandated in Section 45(4) we remand the matter back to the Tribunal for computing the extent of short-term capital gains, if any, that would be brought to tax in relation to the appellant herein. The Appellate Tribunal would have to do the said exercise by taking into account the totality of transactions effected during the previous year relevant to the assessment year in question.Decided against .....

Of the said amount, an amount of Rs. 6,50,77,334/- was attributed to the short-term capital gains alleged to have accrued to the appellant firm by computing the same in accordance with S.50A of the IT Act. 4. In an appeal carried by the appellant before the First Appellate Authority, the said Authority found that the Assessing Authority, while making this computation of short-term capital gains, had not factored in the addition of the building valued at Rs. 7,40,00,000/-, that was brought into the firm by the incoming partner, namely, Poonghat Shrinivas, and hence the written down value as on 31.03.2012, at the end of the previous year, after allowing depreciation, would be Rs. 41,94,640/-.
