What is Janak S. Rangwalla v. Asstt. CIT authority for?

If the Revenue has consistently accepted an assessee as an investor, treating income from such transactions as capital gains in prior years, it cannot arbitrarily re-characterize similar transactions as business income in subsequent assessment years without a fundamental change in facts.
