The CIT invoked revision u\/s 263 and directed the AO to assess the said income as business income. The Tribunal held that the assessee\u2019s claim of STCG and LTCG was supported by bank account, DEMAT account and books of account and that similar treatment had been accepted in A.Y. 2007-08 and again in A.Y. 2014-15. Applying the principle of consistency, the Tribunal held that the income from share transactions was assessable as capital gains and not as business income. The issues relating to disallowance u\/s 94(7), addition u\/s 68 and addition on account of low withdrawals were restored to the AO for fresh verification. On appeal by the Revenue, the Bombay High Court held that the issue stood covered by the earlier judgment in assessee\u2019s own case In \u00a0PCIT v. \u00a0Sarah Faizal Hawa (Smt. )\u00a0 ITA No 837 of 2015 \u00a0dated 30th January, 2018( Bom)( HC) \u00a0\u00a0and therefore the substantial question of law did not survive. Accordingly, the appeal of the Revenue was disposed of.
