HC held that the assessee's "booking rights" and the resultant capital asset accrued only on execution of the Buyer's Agreement dated 4.11.2004, not on earlier confirmation correspondence; the confirmation letter explicitly disclaimed any grant of provisional/final allotment or title and thus did not create transferable rights.
