S.K. Mukhi for the Appellant. ORDER Adarsh Kumar Goel, J. This appeal has been preferred by the assessee under Section 260A of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short, "the Act") against the order dated 24.6.2009 passed by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Chandigarh Bench 'B', (hereinafter referred to as "the T .....

Whether the ITAT has misdirected itself in being influenced by irrelevant factors and applying erroneous criteria while deciding the issue in dispute?" 2.

We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. 4. Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the report of the registered valuer was produced by the assessee but the Assessing Officer and the appellate authorities have not accepted the same without any basis. 5.
