..... We noticed that the assessee had entered into agreement for purchase of the property on 22-09-2009 and in turn, entered into agreement to sell the same to M/s Samarth Enterprises on 23-09-2009. In pursuance of the said agreement, the assessee has received the sum of Rs.2,11,99,999/- from M/s Samarth Enterprises as against the agreed consideration of Rs.2,75,00,000/-. The assessee himself could complete the purchase transaction on 01-10-2011 and hence the assessee could have transferred the land to M/s Samarth Enterprises only after that date. It is the submission of the assessee that the purchaser, viz., M/s Samarth Enterprises has not paid the balance consideration and hence the sale deed could not be executed. The assessee has also given copies of notices sent to M/s Samarth Enterprises asking them to complete the transaction. The said party has also confirmed the transaction in an independent enquiry. Hence we find no reason to doubt the genuineness of the transaction entered by the assessee with M/s Samarth Enterprises. The question as to whether the assessee should wait for completion of the sale transaction or should forfeit the advance money as per the clause stated in MOU....
