The brief facts in all these appeals are that the  assessees<br \/>\n  cases were selected for scrutiny and orders were passed  U\/s.143(3) of<br \/>\n  the Act on 29.12.2016, wherein the Ld.AO treated the  purchase and<br \/>\n  sale of shares of M\/s. SRK Industries Ltd., as sham  transaction and<br \/>\n  thereby the claim of exemption U\/s.10(38) of the Act,  with respect to the<br \/>\n  Long Term Capital Gain earned by the assessees on those  transactions<br \/>\n  were denied and the same was treated as unexplained cash  credit<br \/>\n  U\/s.68 of the Act.<br \/>\n  4. While doing so, the Ld.AO analyzing the issue in  detail arrived at the<br \/>\n  conclusion that the following findings of the wing  corroborates with the<br \/>\n  findings of the SEBI:-<br \/>\n  (i) The company in which the assessees had purchased the  equity<br \/>\n  shares had no creditability and no prudent investor  would make<br \/>\n  such investment.<br \/>\n  7 ITA Nos. 1413 to 1420\/Chny\/2018<br \/>\n  (ii) As per the finding of the investigation report of  the investigation<br \/>\n  wing, the members who participated in the trading of the  scrip<br \/>\n  during mid-2013 to mid-2014 were part of the syndicate  of<br \/>\n  brokers and brokering entities indulging in price  rigging.<br \/>\n  (iii) The ultimate beneficiary of all the price  manipulation is the<br \/>\n  beneficiaries like the assessees who sold the shares  when the<br \/>\n  share price was sufficiently brought to a high level and  could<br \/>\n  take the benefit of Section 10(38) of the Act.<br \/>\n  (iv) For facilitating such bogus entries, the brokers  were paid<br \/>\n  commission in cash generally around 6% of the value of  the<br \/>\n  transaction or Rs.0.50 to Rs.1\/- for every Rs.100\/-  transacted.<br \/>\n  (v) But for the price rigging and manipulative actions  of the brokers<br \/>\n  the assessee would not have earned such Long Term  Capital<br \/>\n  Gain.<br \/>\n  (vi) The motive of the price manipulation is only to  bring out their<br \/>\n  black money as legitimately earned Long Term Capital  Gain for<br \/>\n  which exemption U\/s.10(38) of the Act is available.<br \/>\n  5. The Ld.AO further relied on the following decisions  while<br \/>\n  deciding the cases against the assessees:-<br \/>\n  8 ITA Nos. 1413 to 1420\/Chny\/2018<br \/>\n  (i) The Hon&rsquo;ble Apex Court in the case Sumathi Dayal  reported in<br \/>\n  214 ITR 801, it was held that &ldquo;<em>In our opinion,  the majority opinion<br \/>\n    after considering surrounding circumstances and applying the test of<br \/>\n    human probabilities has rightly concluded that the appellant&rsquo;s claim<br \/>\n    about the amount being her winning from races is not genuine. It<br \/>\n    cannot be said that the explanation offered by the appellant in respect<br \/>\n    of the said amounts has been rejected unreasonably and that the<br \/>\n    finding that the said amounts are income of the appellant from other<br \/>\n    sources is based on evidence<\/em>.&rdquo;<br \/>\n  (ii) The Hon&rsquo;ble Apex Court in the case M\/s. Durga  Prasad More<br \/>\n  reported in 82 ITR 540, it was held that &ldquo;<em>Science has not  yet<br \/>\n    invented any instrument to test the reliability of the evidence placed<br \/>\n    before a Court or Tribunal, Therefore the Courts and Tribunals have<br \/>\n    to judge the evidence before them by applying the test of human<br \/>\n    probabilities.&rdquo;<br \/>\n  <\/em>(iii) In the Landmark McDowell Vs. CTO case, the Hon&rsquo;ble Apex<br \/>\n  Court had held <em>&ldquo;Colourable devices cannot be part of tax planning<br \/>\n    and it is wrong to encourage or entertain the belief that it is<br \/>\n    honourable to avoid the payment of tax by resorting to dubious<br \/>\n    methods. It is the obligation of every citizen to pay the taxes honestly<br \/>\n    without resorting to subterfuges.<\/em>&rdquo;<br \/>\n  9 ITA Nos. 1413 to 1420\/Chny\/2018<br \/>\n  6. On appeal the Ld.CIT(A) confirmed the order of the  Ld.AO<br \/>\n  after detailed deliberations.<br \/>\n  7. Before us the Ld.AR submitted that the assessees were  not provided<br \/>\n  with an opportunity to cross-examine the witness who  were relied by the<br \/>\n  Revenue and further failed to furnish the investigation  report of the<br \/>\n  intelligence wing of the Revenue before concluding the  assessment.<br \/>\n  The Ld.AR further argued that the assessees were not  provided with<br \/>\n  proper opportunity of being heard. It was therefore  pleaded that the<br \/>\n  matter may be remitted back to the file of Ld.AO for  fresh consideration.<br \/>\n  The Ld.DR strongly opposed to the submission of the  Ld.AR and<br \/>\n  requested for confirming the orders of the Ld.Revenue  Authorities.<br \/>\n  8. We have heard the rival submissions and carefully  perused<br \/>\n  the materials on record. At the outset we must say that  the Ld.AR could<br \/>\n  not justify before us any of their claims made before  the Ld.Revenue<br \/>\n  Authorities that the transaction was genuine. Further  the Ld.AR could<br \/>\n  not successfully controvert to any of the findings of  the Ld.Revenue<br \/>\n  Authorities before us which are against the assessees.  Instead the<br \/>\n  Ld.AR has only come out with the plea that the assessees  were not<br \/>\n  provided with opportunity of cross-examining the  witness, the<br \/>\n  10 ITA Nos. 1413 to 1420\/Chny\/2018<br \/>\n  investigation report was not furnished and proper  opportunity was not<br \/>\n  provided of being heard. However we find that all these  arguments<br \/>\n  raised by the Ld.AR before us was never alleged before  the<br \/>\n  Ld.Revenue Authorities when the matter was before them.  In this<br \/>\n  situation we do not have any other option but to confirm  the orders of<br \/>\n  the Ld.Revenue Authorities in the case of all the  assessees because<br \/>\n  the Ld.AO as well as the Ld.CIT(A) have arrived at their  respective<br \/>\n  decisions after considering the issues in the appeal in  detail and there is<br \/>\n  nothing before us to disturb their findings. Accordingly  we hereby<br \/>\n  confirm the Order of the Ld.Revenue Authorities on this  issue. Thus the<br \/>\n  first ground raised by the assessees herein above in all  the appeals are<br \/>\n  held against the assessees.<br \/>\n  9. With respect to the Ground No. 2(ii) &amp; 2(iii)  raised by the<br \/>\n  assessees in the respective appeals, we find that the  issue is with<br \/>\n  respect to computation of total income from the basic  facts of those<br \/>\n  cases and therefore we hereby remit back the matter to  the file of<br \/>\n  Ld.AO to verify the claim of the assessees and  thereafter decide the<br \/>\n  matter in accordance with law and merit.<br \/>\n  11 ITA Nos. 1413 to 1420\/Chny\/2018<br \/>\n  10. In the Ground No. 2(iv), the assessee has raised the  issue that<br \/>\n  the Ld.AO has denied the benefit of set-off losses.  Since we do not find<br \/>\n  any detailed discussion on the issue by the Ld.AO as  well as the<br \/>\n  Ld.CIT(A), we remit back the matter to the file of Ld.AO  for fresh<br \/>\n  consideration.<br \/>\n  11. Levy of interest U\/s.243B and 243C of the Act is  consequential<br \/>\n  in nature and therefore this ground raised by the  assessees is devoid of<br \/>\n  merits.<br \/>\n  12. In the result the appeals of the assessees in ITA  Nos.1416,<br \/>\n  1418,1419 &amp; 1420\/Chny\/2018 are partly allowed and  the appeals of the<br \/>\n  assessees ITA Nos.1413, 1414, 1415 &amp; 1417\/Chny\/2018  are<br \/>\n  dismissed.<br \/>\n  Order pronounced on the 6th December,   2018 at Chennai.<br \/>\n  Sd\/- Sd\/-<br \/>\n  &#2330;&#2375;#&#2344;&#2312;\/Chennai,<br \/>\n  $&#2342;&#2344;&#2366;&#2306;&#2325;\/Dated 6th December, 2018<br \/>\n  ( &#2332;&#2379; &#2327;&#2306;&#2342;&#2352;  &#2360;&#2306;&#2361; )<br \/>\n  (Joginder Singh)<br \/>\n  &#2313;&#2346;&#2366; &#2351;\u0006 \/ Vice President<br \/>\n  (&#2319;. &#2350;&#2379;&#2361;&#2344;  &#2309;&#2354;&#2306;&#2325;&#2366;&#2350;&#2339;&#2368;)<br \/>\n  (A.
