What is CIT v. H K Financiers (P.) Ltd. authority for?

Where an assessee has valued investments at cost and classified shares as investments in its books of account, the Assessing Officer cannot treat short-term capital gains arising from the purchase and sale of shares as business income. Such a classification in the books of account, maintaining a clear dichotomy, supports treating the gain as capital gain.
