..... /s Lalji Ghelabhai for Rs. 28,000 vide agreement dated 10th Oct., 1980. The ITO found that in the firm M/s Lalji Ghelabhai the Directors of the assessee company were substantially interested. This agreement was not duly registered and hence the ITO was of the opinion that since the transfer and sale of immovable property had not been done by a registered deed, the assessee company continued to be the owner of that structure.

..... legal owner. That case before the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court pertained to the asst. yr. 1978-79. The newly introduced provision of s. 27(iiia) of the IT Act has been introduced only with effect from 1st April, 1988 whereas the present two appeals relate to the asst. yrs. 1982-83 and 1983-84. That provision, therefore, cannot have application to the matters which are the subject-matters of the present appeals, The ground of appeal raised in the present appeals is excessive. Neither any material were produced before us nor any attempt was made in the arguments of the learned counsel for the appellant on this aspect of the matter. We thus see no reason to interfere on this aspect of the matter in controversy. 7. As a result of the above d .....
