Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
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. The court emphasized that the method of holding land does not create exceptions to tax provisions. The word 'transfer' under Section 50C must be construed with wide amplitude, covering all legally permissible transfer methods. Consequently, the court dismissed the appeal, affirming a comprehensive interpretation of property transfer and taxation principles.
