The Tribunal held that the revision order passed by the PCIT under section 263 was not legally sustainable and was based on a mere change of opinion. The Tribunal relied on the principle that for section 263 to be invoked, the order must be both erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the revenue. An incorrect assumption of facts or an incorrect application of law would make an order erroneous. However, if the Assessing Officer (AO) adopted one of the courses permissible in law, or if two views were possible and the AO took one view with which the Commissioner did not agree, it would not be considered an erroneous order prejudicial to the revenue unless the AO's view was unsustainable in law. The Tribunal noted that the AO had examined the issue of capital gains and section 50C and took a reasonable and possible view, citing decisions of the Gujarat High Court in CIT Vs Siddharth J. Desai and Madhabhai Patel. The Tribunal found that the twin conditions for section 263 were not fulfilled. Therefore, the revision order was set aside, and the substantial grounds of appeal raised by the assessee were allowed. The Tribunal did not expressly leave any issue undecided.
