Heard both the parties. Case file perused. 2. Learned DR submitted during the course of proceedings that both the learned lower authorities have rightly made the impugned sec.56(2)(vii)(b) addition of Rs.10.79 lakhs representing the difference between the stamp value of Rs.61.58 lakhs and the actual sale price of Rs.40 lakhs in the relevant transfer deed dated 2 ITA.No.801/PUN./2024 11.03.2015, to the extent of half share in the taxpayer’s hands in very terms. 3. It is noticed during the course of hearing that neither there is any concrete indication that the asset in question forms the ‘capital asset’ within the meaning of Explanation-(d) to sec.56(2)(vii)(b) nor the learned lower authorities have made the statutory reference to DVO in terms of Proviso to sub-sec.(c) thereof. Faced with this situation, it is deemed appropriate in the larger interest of justice to restore the assessee’s instant appeal back to the learned Assessing Officer for his afresh adjudication on merits preferably within three effective opportunities of hearing. Ordered accordingly. 3. This assessee’s appeal is allowed for statistical purposes in above terms. Order pronounced in the open Court on 26.02.2024.
