216 Taxmann 171 · 2013 · High Court

CIT v. Shyam R. Pawar
54 Taxmann.com 108 · 2015 · High Court

Transactions involving the purchase and sale of shares cannot be considered bogus where the assessee provides documentary evidence, unless the revenue brings substantial evidence on record to reject such proof. This principle is consistently applied in cases concerning claims of bogus long-term capital gains arising from penny stock transactions.
