2019 (2) TMI 2003 - ITAT CHENNAI The appellant's appeal was dismissed, and the lower authorities' decisions were upheld for all issues raised in the case. The Tribunal found discrepancies in the appellant's claims regarding cash deposits and denied exemption under Section 54F of the Act due to the appellant's wife already claiming exemption for the same property. The lack of evidence supporting transactions and failure to establish creditworthiness and genuineness of parties led to the affirmation of the lower authority's decisions.

2022 (5) TMI 609 - ITAT JAIPUR The Tribunal allowed the appeal, granting exemption under Section 54F and setting aside the CIT(A)'s order. The Tribunal held that the exemption should not be denied merely because the new residential house was purchased in the wife's name, especially when the investment was made from the assessee's own funds. The broader interpretation of the term "assessee" aligned with the legislative intent to provide tax relief for reinvestment in residential properties, regardless of the property's registered name. The addition of Rs. 6,33,190/- on account of long-term capital gain was deleted.

2024 (6) TMI 62 - ITAT INDORE The Tribunal allowed the assessee's appeal, granting the deduction u/s 54B for agricultural lands purchased in the names of his wife and minor children.

The Tribunal cited judicial precedents and statutory recognition under the Benami Transaction Prohibition Act, affirming the assessee's right to the deduction. The Tribunal underscored the role of the assessee as a natural/legal guardian for minors and the purposive interpretation of Section 54B, supporting the assessee's entitlement to the deduction for the entire investment.

The court emphasized that the legislation does not specify the investment should be in the assessee's name, supporting deductions for investments made in the spouse's name.
