The Tribunal held that the shares of the co-owners in the AOP were definite and ascertained as per the trust deed and subsequent deeds. Therefore, the long-term capital gain was not taxable in the hands of the AOP.

The Tribunal directed the assessee to produce the suppliers before the Assessing Officer for examination of the genuineness of the purchases. The assessee was also directed to furnish necessary supporting details.
The Tribunal held that the penalty notice issued under Section 271(1)(c) was invalid as it failed to strike off the irrelevant default, thus not putting the assessee on proper notice. Consequently, the penalty was vacated.

The Tribunal upheld the CIT(Appeals)'s decision to delete the disallowance of product trial expenses, considering them revenue in nature. However, it rejected the assessee's claim for weighted deduction under Section 35 for these expenses due to lack of evidence of approval.
