Disallowance of construction cost for capital gains was overturned where the assessee produced the contractor's confirmation, a cost breakup, identity documents and an income-tax return evidencing the contractor's involvement; the AO had not doubted the work but made an ad hoc 50% reduction without identifying any cogent defect in the contractor's confirmation or the breakup.
