In the case of Shakti Corporation since the assessee has filed copy of the development agreement and crux of the agreement is that the assessee has purchased the land and has developed the housing project at its own, therefore, we are of the view that the assessee will be entitled for the deduction u/s 80IB(10). The decision of the Hon ble Supreme Court in the case of Faqir Chand Gulati (supra) will not assist the Revenue, as the agreement is not sharing of the constructed area. In other cases the copy of agreement since has not been submitted before us, if submitted, the terms and conditions of the agreement were not specifically argued before and placed before us, we therefore, in the interest of justice and fair play to both the parties set aside the order of the CIT(A) and restore all other appeals to the file of the Assessing Officer with the direction that the Assessing Officer shall look into the agreement entered into by each of the assessee with the landowner and decide whether the assessee has in fact purchas .....

Hence, as held by Hon ble Ahmedabad ITAT in the case of M/s Shakti Corporation and Others, the assessee is entitled to deduction u/s. 80IB(10).

Therefore, for the year under consideration, following the above mentioned judgments of Hon ble Ahmedabad ITAT, the claim of the appellant for deduction u/s 80IB(10) is allowed. Since the ld. CIT(A) has given relief to the assessee by placing reliance on the decisions of Hon ble ITAT Ahmedabad in the case of ITO and Otrs. Vs. Shakti Corporation Baroda in ITA No.1503/Ahd/2008 which in turn was passed by Hon ble ITAT following the decision of Hon ble Apex Court in the case of Faquir Chand Gulati ( .....
