3.1 According to the respondent/revenue, fictitious profits amounting to
Rs. 35,37,040/- have been derived from trading in shares of JPIL. Likewise,
it is alleged that fictitious profits amounting to Rs. 1,40,70,919/- have been
registered by the petitioner by trading in shares of MFL. Thus, it is alleged
that the petitioner has registered bogus long term capital gains
[cumulatively] amounting to Rs. 1,76,07,959/-.
4. Mr Kapil Goel, who appears on behalf of the petitioner, on the other
hand, says that the reassessment proceedings have jurisdictional flaws.
4.1 Inter alia, it is submitted that the first proviso of Section 147 of the
Income Tax Act, 1961 [in short, “Act”] gets attracted. In support of this plea
that the petitioner has truly and fully disclosed all material facts, our
attention has been drawn to the scrutiny assessment order dated 05.12.2016
passed under Section 143(3) of the Act.
4.2 Mr Goel has also drawn our attention to the queries raised and
answered while scrutiny assessment was being conducted, to demonstrate
that explanations were sought with regard to the petitioner’s trade in shares.
4.3 Mr Goel also contends that the aforementioned companies are not
penny stock companies, as alleged or at all.
5. In our view, the matter requires examination.
6. Issue notice.
6.1 Mr Sunil Agarwal, senior standing counsel, accepts notice on behalf
of the respondent/revenue.
7. Counter-affidavit will be filed within the next four weeks.
7.1 Rejoinder thereto, if any, will be filed before the next date of hearing.
8. List the matter on 26.09.2023.

the petitioner, the same shall not be given effect to till further directions of
