Before: SHRI MAHAVIR PRASAD & SHRI WASEEM AHMED
PER MAHAVIR PRASAD, JUDICIAL MEMBER 1. This appeal filed by the Assessee is directed against the order of the Ld. CIT(A)-XIV, Ahmedabad dated 18.06.2013 pertaining to A.Y. 2003-04 and following grounds have been taken:
ITA No. 2248/Ahd/2013 2 . A.Y. 2003-04 1. The learned CIT(A) has erred both in law and on the facts of the case in dismissing the appellant's ground of appeal challenging the validity of notice issued u/s 148 of the Act as regards re-opening the assessment. On the facts and circumstances of the case, learned CIT(A) ought to have held that notice u/s 148 of the Act and the consequential re-assessment proceedings are invalid. The same be held so now. 2. The learned CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts of the case in dismissing the ground challenging the act of framing the assessment without issuance of statutory notice u/s 143(2) of the Act. 3. The learned CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts of the case in confirming the addition made u/s 69 to the extent of Rs.2,28,600/-. 4. The learned CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts of the case in confirming the addition of Rs.4,09,637/- being short term capital gain on alleged transfer of shares in Khyati Multimedia. 5. Both the lower authorities have passed the orders without properly appreciating the fact and that they further erred in grossly ignoring various submissions, explanations and information submitted by the appellant from time to time which ought to have been considered before passing the impugned order. This action of the lower authorities is in clear breach of law and Principles of Natural Justice and therefore deserves to be quashed. 6. The learned CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts of the case in confirming action of the Id. AO in levying interest u/s 234AB C of the Act. 7. The learned CIT(A) has erred in law and on facts of the case in confirming action of the ld. AO in initiating penalty u/s 271(l)(c) of the Act.

The assessee has not furnished any details regarding the Short Term Capital Gain of Rs. 4,09,637/- not attended my office. Under the circumstances, I have no other option but to add the amount as undisclosed Short Term Capital gain earned by the assessed during A. Y. 2003-04.”
Thereafter, assessee preferred first statutory appeal before the ld. CIT(A) who dismissed the appeal of the assessee.
Now appellant has come before us.
We have gone through the relevant record and impugned order. It is a case where assessee has sold 1,27,182 equity shares of Khyati Multimedia on various dates during the year under consideration and accordingly ld. A.O. adopted market rate of impugned share on three days prior to date of sale and determined short term capital gain. But assessee could not submit any evidence either before the ld. CIT(A) or before us to controvert the finding of the ld. A.O. He has not filed any evidence in its support of his case before the lower authorities in order to prove that case of Revenue is illegal or unjustified.
ITA No. 2248/Ahd/2013 5 . A.Y. 2003-04 7. Considering the above fact, we do not find any merit and the appeal of the assessee therefore, same is dismissed.
In the result, appeal filed by the Assessee is dismissed.
