....rgument of the appellant by valuing the cost of land from registered valuer. Thus, in my considered view the appellant's request cannot be acceded too. It is also seen that the appellant has claimed the exemption u/s 54 as the appellant has sold a house and a consideration was split into the land price and the sale of super structure (Malba) and accordingly has sold a house, whereas the A.O. has only considered the consideration of land and ignored the sale of super structure. The A.O. since considered the sale of land has considered the claim of the appellant of exemption u/s 54F, whereas looking to the facts of the case, the claim of exemption made by the appellant u/s 54 appears to be correct, I find that the appellant has invested a sum of Rs. 11,10,337/- out of the sale proceeds towards the purchase of house at Rani Baug, Indore for a consideration of Rs. 60.20 Lacs in the name of his wife. The appellant has claimed the utilization of sale proceeds u/s 54 of the I.T. Act. The appellant has relied upon various judicial pronouncements in support of its contention. The appellant's A/R argued that the Madras High Court in the case of CIT vs. V. Natarajan reported 154 Taxma....

.... also evident that the payments in the loan account have been made by the wife of the appellant and there is no connection with the appellant in this respect. Further it is evident that during the course of assessment proceedings, the A.O. did not asked any explanation from the appellant in this regard after obtaining the copy of account from the bank. I also find that the wife of the appellant is regularly filing return of income reflecting the income from the shop as well as agricultural income and out of which the payment in the loan account has been made. In view of the same, I consider it proper and appropriate to hold that Assessing Officer was not justified in making the aforesaid addition to the income of the appellant. Accordingly, the addition so made by the Assessing Officer is deleted. Thus, this ground of appeal is allowed." 9. We have considered the rival contentions and found that the loan was obtained for purchase of shop, wherein wife of assessee was regularly carrying on the business in the name of Anand Shree Fruit Juice. By considering income of wife, the ld. CIT (A) has deleted the addition. We find that as per the computation of income filed by his wife, the....
