As far as appeal preferred by revenue (Income Tax Appeal No.382/2015) is concerned, issue involved therein is confined to liability to pay penalty under clause (c) of section 271 of said Act of 1961. challenge is to order of Appellate Tribunal dated 27 th August 2014 by which appeal preferred by assessee was allowed and order of levy of penalty under section 271(1)(c) was set aside. 6. As far as appeal preferred by assessee is concerned, learned counsel appearing for appellant fairly stated that he is not pressing first substantial question of law formulated therein. He also fairly invited our attention to judgment and order dated 29 th September 2017 in Income Tax Reference No.96/2000 (Smt.Meena V. Pamnani, Mumbai v. Commissioner of Income Tax) as well as Commissioner of Income Tax, Central II v. Cascade Holdings (P.) Ltd. 1. other substantial questions of law which are pressed into service by assessee would not arise in view of said decision of this Court. 7. As regards appeal preferred by revenue, submission of learned counsel appearing for revenue is that law was very clear and knowing fully well legal position, claim to Long Term Capital loss was made by assessee. submission of learned counsel appearing for revenue is that making such claim amounts to furnishing inaccurate particulars of income. 1 [2014] 45 taxmann.com 228 (Bombay) ::: Uploaded on - 28/12/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 30/12/2017 09:41:05 ::: SKN 4/4 382.15 itxa 8. We have given careful consideration to submissions. As noted by Appellate Tribunal, undisputed position is that assessee has furnished all details of sale of property and also in relation to its purchase. only dispute is with regard to mode and manner of computation of income arising out same. assessee computed income by taking into account Long Term Capital Loss. He was relying upon certain decisions of Tribunal. view taken by Assessing Officer was to contrary. Looking to admitted position and findings of fact, it was certainly not case of concealment of particulars income or furnishing inaccurate particulars of income. It is not case of revenue that inaccurate details relating to sale of property including sale proceeds and relating to its purchase were furnished by assessee. 9. Therefore, there is no merit in appeal preferred by revenue. No substantial question of law arises. Accordingly, we pass following order: Both appeals are dismissed with no order as to costs.
