This appeal filed by the Revenue on 2.8.2013 is against the order of the CIT (A)-21, Mumbai for the assessment year 2007-2008. In this appeal, Revenue raised the following solitary ground which reads as under: “On the facts and circumstances of the case and in law the CIT (A) Erred in deleting the addition of Rs. 55 lakhs representing deemed dividend u/s 2(22)(e) of the Act.”
At the outset, Ld Counsel for the assessee demonstrate that this is the case where the assessee is merely a beneficial owner of the companies between whom there was a loan transaction recorded in their respective books of accounts. In the assessment, AO invoked the provisions of section 2(22)(e) of the Act in this case of beneficial owner only ignoring the settled legal proposition that the said provisions are not to be invoked in the case of such beneficial owner.

The said proposition is approved by the Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court in the case of CIT vs.
