Capital gains from sale of an immovable property were taxable in the hands of the firm, not the individual partners, because the registered sale deed showed the firm as vendor/owner and income must be assessed in the hands of the "right person" under the Act; hence partners' proportionate disclosures were legally unsustainable and had to be excluded.
