....d cross objection. 7. We have considered rival contentions and carefully gone through the orders of the authorities below. From the record, we found that the assessee had sold 10.88 hectares of agricultural land at village Dhansar to Shri. Deepak Harishchnadra Thakur and Rakesh R. Agarwal for the consideration of Rs. 1,45,00,000/- under sale deed dt. 15.03.2008. The possession of the said land was handed over to the purchasers on the date of the agreement itself i.e. on 15.03.2008. This fact is noted in para 6/pg no. 3 of the sale agreement dt. 15.03.2008. It is thus the case that the "transfer" of the said land as provided u/s 2(47)(v) took place on 15.03.2008 falling in the previous year relevant to A.Y. 08-09 and not in the year under....

However, CIT(A) allowed deduction of Rs. 90 lakhs but did not accept cost of land as of 01/04/1981 and as per valuation report of Chartered Engineering submitted by the assessee. As per our considered view, since not only sale deed was executed in the A.Y. 2008-09 but also possession was given in the A.Y. 2008-09, capital gain was liable to be taxed in the A.Y. 2008-09 and not in the A.Y. 2009-10, merely because sale deed was got registered in the A.Y. 2009-10. We also found that the same land of Rs. 1,45,00,000/- has also been asses....
