As per AS-13 Accounting for Investments, if the diminution in the value of the investments is other than of the temporary nature, then the value of the investments shud be written down to teh recoverable value.  The acc entry for the same would be as follows:

Loss in Value of INvestments  Dr

To- Investments A/c

The loss in the value of investments shud be shown seperately in the P&L account to know the impact of such loss on teh current profit of the company

There's no need to reverse the entry.
