These shares were unquoted. As per the policy of the Government, a member of the stock exchange was not allowed to hold more than one equity share.

AO has indicated as under :

(2.) IT may be noted that these are prices of Bombay Stock Exchange and not of the Delhi Stock Exchange. So far as the Delhi Stock Exchange is concerned, no data is available and on some conjecture the arguments are advanced before this Court despite the fact that Tribunal has examined the matter on facts and has recorded a finding that in the IT return (typed as WTR incorrectly) the assessee had declared the value of such share at Rs. 2,62,000 which has been accepted by the Revenue. In the opinion of the Court, no question of law is involved. Hence, the appeal is dismissed.
