(2.) On 20.05.2010, a Coordinate Bench of this Court has admitted the appeal on the following substantial question of law:-

(3.) The brief facts of the case are that the assessee is an individual, who had income from partnership firm, dividend interest. In the return, it was declared that the assessee was having the capital gain bonds in NABARD worth Rs.20.00 lacs, which was purchased through M/s. Goyal Achal Sampati. Later, it was sold for a consideration of Rs.20,54,592/-. The capital gain was worked out to Rs.19,99,238/-. The assessee has claimed exemption from tax as she had reinvested Rs.20.00 lacs in RBI capital bonds. On scrutiny, the Assessing Officer (AO) found that the transactions are not genuine, so he made the addition. The CIT(A) has confirmed the same, but in second appeal, the Tribunal has deleted the addition. Being aggrieved, the Department has filed the present appeal.
