The Tribunal found inconsistencies in the DVO's valuation reports and the comparable sale instances. It estimated the FMV as on 01.04.1981 at Rs. 350 per sq. ft. The Tribunal also dismissed the claim that capital gains were taxable in an earlier assessment year, as the property registration occurred in the relevant year.

The Tribunal held that the administrative support charges of Rs. 6,09,68,985/- do not constitute taxable Fees for Technical Services (FTS). The CIT(A) had correctly observed that the services rendered were routine administrative and support functions of a non-technical nature and did not satisfy the 'make available' condition under Article 13 of the India-UK DTAA. The Tribunal respectfully followed its co-ordinate bench's decision in the assessee's own case, which had categorically held that such administrative services were not FTS. Regarding the reimbursement of expenses of Rs. 26,02,524/-, the Tribunal held that these were reimbursements of costs incurred for services utilized by JIPL, provided without any mark-up. Following the Supreme Court's decision in DIT v. AP Moller Maersk, the Tribunal held that reimbursement of expenses at cost, without any profit element, is not taxable as FTS. The Tribunal upheld the CIT(A)'s decision on both grounds, dismissing the Revenue's appeal. The Cross Objection filed by the assessee regarding the assessment order being time-barred was dismissed as infructuous due to a retrospective amendment to Section 144C of the Act, clarifying that its provisions prevail over Section 153.
The Tribunal held that the notice issued under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act was barred by the limitation period specified in Section 149. Consequently, the reassessment proceedings and the assessment order were quashed.
