INCOME TAX OFFICER, WARD-6(3), INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT, PUNE vs. KALAWATI VIJAYKUMAR AGARWAL, PUNE
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision, stating that the relationship between the buyer and seller is immaterial for Section 54F deduction.

What were the issues?
Whether the purchase of a residential property from a spouse, who had acquired it from an HUF in which the assessee was a member, disqualifies the assessee from claiming deduction under Section 54F. Whether the transaction was a circular one.
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
