The Tribunal held that since the assessee's declared income in the return was accepted by the AO, there was no escaped income. Therefore, no penalty was leviable.

The Tribunal held that the assessee was the absolute owner of the property since 2001 and the payment to the statutory tenant was for relinquishing tenancy rights, not for acquiring, constructing, repairing, renewing, or reconstructing the property with borrowed capital. Therefore, the deduction under Section 24(b) was not admissible.
The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) should have decided the penalty issue on merits and not dismissed the appeal solely on grounds of delay. The assessee should be given an opportunity to be heard on the merits of the case.

The Tribunal held that Section 54B does not require the re-purchased land to be agricultural on the date of re-investment. The assessee's claim for deduction was therefore allowed.

The Tribunal held that the Revenue was not an aggrieved party in this case, especially in light of the Assessing Officer's favorable remand report and supporting case law. The appeals were therefore not maintainable.

The Tribunal allowed the assessee's request to withdraw the appeal. The department did not oppose this request.
The Tribunal held that the assessee's substantive grounds against the regular assessment had not been decided on merits. Therefore, the CIT(A) was directed to decide the assessee's earlier withdrawn appeal as per law.

The Tribunal allowed the assessee's request to withdraw the appeal and cross-objection. The withdrawal was granted subject to the assessee retaining the liberty to raise all issues in the departmental appeal.

The Tribunal held that the penalty notice issued under Section 274 read with Section 271(1)(c) was not clear about the specific charge for which penalty was being levied. This lack of clarity renders the penalty order illegal and invalid.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal filed by the Revenue. This was based on the CBDT circular which revised the monetary limit for filing appeals to Rs. 50.00 lakh, and the tax effect in this case was below that limit.

The Tribunal held that the condition of using agricultural land for two years preceding the sale does not require continuous use for the entire period. Growing fodder grass on part of the land is sufficient to meet the agricultural purpose requirement.
