This was a case where certain shares acquired by Karta of HUF were thrown into hotchpot of HUF and on sale thereof, assessee claimed deduction for cost of acquisition thereof at market value of previous owner as cost of acquisition on the date they were thrown into HUF hotchpot. At that time, the provision for substituted cost of acquisition was not there under Section 49 for the property thrown into HUF hotchpot.

(i), (ii) and (iii) of s. 49(1) of the Act.

Vilas B. Shah, Mumbai vs Assessee on 28 November, 2008

Learned counsel for the revenue from the records could not demonstrate that there were large number of transactions which had frequency, volume, continuity and regularity and fell within the tests laid down by the Division Bench of this Court.
