The Tribunal had accepted the assessee's explanation that they had provided complete and accurate information and had met their burden of proof.

In light of this established legal position, the Court found no reason to entertain the present appeals. The appeals were dismissed. No issue was expressly left undecided.

The High Court rejected the Revenue's contention. It held that the base year for indexation of the cost of acquisition should be taken as April 1, 1981, because the previous owner had acquired the property prior to that date. The Court's reasoning was based on its decision in a prior case, ITA No. 116/2011 titled Arun Shungloo Trust vs. CIT. The ratio decidendi is that when a property is gifted, and the previous owner acquired it before April 1, 1981, the indexation benefit should be calculated from April 1, 1981, irrespective of the date of gift. The appeal filed by the Revenue was dismissed. No costs were awarded.
