LATE SH. LAXMI NARAYAN SAIWAL,JAIPUR vs. ITO, JAIPUR
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) erred in confirming the AO's action of adopting a lower fair market value for the land. The comparable sale instances used by the DVO were not appropriate for the assessee's land.
What were the facts?
The assessee claimed a higher fair market value for land as of April 1, 1981, for capital gains calculation. The Assessing Officer (AO) and CIT(A) used a lower value based on the Departmental Valuation Officer's (DVO) report, which the assessee argued was not comparable.
What were the issues?
The primary issue was the determination of the correct fair market value of the land as on April 1, 1981, for calculating long-term capital gains, and whether the comparable sale instances relied upon were appropriate.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
