The Court held that as the daughter had not acquired the asset for any consideration, and the computation provisions failed, no levy of capital gains tax was applicable. Additionally, the Court disagreed with the valuation of the property by the Income-tax Officer, emphasizing the importance of determining the correct fair market value for accurate tax assessment.
