Disallowance of loss on sale of shares being stock in trade - The transaction in question, since was not related to the business activity of the assessee, therefore, the said land/shares cannot be said to be a stock in trade. Even if for the sake of argument it is assumed that the transaction was of sale of shares, the said shares cannot be treated as stock in trade of the assessee. Even otherwise, the said transaction of shares would be hit by the provision of Section 73 of the Act and this loss claimed by the assessee being speculation loss could not be adjusted against the business income of the assessee. - AT
