As regards question No. 2, the same pertains to the valuation of the shares which had been quoted on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The assessment file of the assessed having been transferred to Delhi, the Commissioner of Wealth-tax (Appeals) took note of the Central Board of Direct Taxes Circular and following the same came to the conclusion that as the distance between Bombay and Delhi was less than the distance between Calcutta and Delhi, therefore, the value quoted at the Bombay Stock Exchange should be adopted. This plea was accepted by the Tribunal also. In our opinion, the question as to what was the proper rate to be applied in valuing the shares is a pure question of fact, on the facts and circumstances of the present case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court Commissioner Of Wealth-Tax vs Sita Ram Arvind Kumar on 20 August, 1990 Equivalent citations: 1991 188 ITR 527 Delhi Bench: B Kirpal, S Duggal JUDGMENT 1.
