HC held that Section 50C's applicability extends beyond traditional ownership, encompassing various modes of property holding including leasehold rights. The term "held by an assessee" is interpreted broadly to include multiple legal arrangements such as leasehold, sub-leasehold, tenancy, and licensee interests.
