The Tribunal held that the grounds challenging the validity of the approval under Section 153D and the consequential assessment under Section 153A are dismissed. Relying on the decisions in Neelu Sanjay Gupta Vs. DCIT and Subhash Stone Products Vs. ACIT, the Tribunal found no infirmity in the approval granted. Regarding the addition under Section 56(2)(ix), the Tribunal found merit in the assessee's contention. It noted that Section 56(2)(ix) was introduced by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2014, which received presidential assent on August 6, 2014, and was effective from April 1, 2015. Since the forfeiture occurred on May 31, 2014, the new charging section could not be applied retrospectively. The Tribunal also observed that Section 51 of the Act, which was in force at the time, dealt with deducting forfeited advances from the cost of acquisition. The Tribunal further agreed with the assessee that Section 56(2)(ix) applies to the owner of the capital asset, and since the assessee was not the owner of the land in question, the provision was not applicable. Consequently, the additions made under Section 56(2)(ix) were deleted.

The Tribunal dismissed the Revenue's grounds concerning these issues.
