Shekhawati General Traders Ltd vs Income Tax Officer, Company Circle I, ... on 4 October, 1971
In Shekhawati General Traders Ltd v. ITO , the court laid stress on the fact that the assessee had opted to take the cost of acquisition as provided by the relevant statute, ie., the statutory cost of acquisition and thus substituting the market value as on 1-1-1954, in place of the actual cost of acquisition, and only in such a case, the subsequent issue of bonus shares cannot affect the issue.
