....alculation of net income at Rs. 8,008 the value shown by him, i.e., Rs. 1,40,000 is 171 times net income which is much more than multiple mentioned in the case of CIT v. Smt. Vimlaben Bhagwandas Patel [1979] 118 ITR 134 (Guj.), i.e., 8 1/3 times. Therefore, this value should be accepted. According to him the value taken by the WTO comes to 24 times the net income which is very high and unjustified. He has also relied upon the following authorities : (1) Jaswant Rai v. CWT [1977] 107 ITR 477 (Punj. & Har.). In this case relying on the Supreme Court judgment in the case of State of Kerala v. P.P. Hassan Koya AIR 1968 SC 1201, their Lordships have approved the method of capitalisation of return actually received from building. It is also he....

....for these purposes he has relied upon the Tribunal's decision in WT Appeal Nos. 309 to 311 (Indore) of 1981 a copy of which he has supplied to us. 5.

....said cases. It is clearly true that in the course of the judgment there is no discussion regarding this point. However, in both the cases, the judgments show that the method of valuation takes into consideration the limited period for which the tenancy exists. There are calculations in the former case at page 29 and in the latter case at page 688 of the reports. They clearly show that the value is taken into account on a yield method only for the limited period of the tenancy and to that the value on the basis of possibility of the land becoming available in a vacant condition is added.

To a question put to the learned departmental representative from the Bench, how the reversionary value could be taken into account in view of the difficulty of getting the tenants to vacate the land the learned departmental representative replied that when the life of the building was over, the tenants were bound to vacate it and could not stay on. The assessee's representative at once pointed out that even when a new structure was built up on the same land the old tenants had to be given equivalent accommodation and to that again the learned departmental representative replied t....
