..... . 3,00,000/- as claimed by the assessee and computed the capital gain based on this fictional amount. Ld. CIT(A) deleted the addition and held that so far assessee is concerned, she sold her shares on 01.12.2006 much before the date of the order of High Court and she received Rs. 3,00,000/- only and when High Court approved the scheme on 10.09.2007, the share were not held by the assessee because she had already sold her shares on 01.12.2006. In fact, there is no infirmity in the order of Ld. CIT (A) as u/s 45 read with section 48, actual sale consideration in the hands of the assessee is the sole determining factor 'for computing the capital gain. Assessee sold her shares on 01.12.2006 on "as is where is" basis @ Rs. 100/shares. If by subsequent order of High Court dated 10.09.2007, some more consideration in the form of shares were to be received, it was to be received and in fact was received by the holder of shares on the date of the order of High Court which in any case was not the assessee.

..... there is no infirmity in the order of Ld. CIT(A). Assessee's Cross Objections The only issue in Cross Objection is regarding assumption of jurisdiction u/s 153C (wrongly mentioned as 153A in the grounds of appeal). Submission of the assessee is that for assuming jurisdiction u/s 153C, not only the documents of the assessee should be found and seized but those documents found and seized must be of incriminating nature. To treat a person as searched u/s 153C is very harsh and mere discovery of disclosed documents should not confer this harsh jurisdiction, as held in the judicial decisions given herein after. PB 25 is the copy of notice u/s 153C. PB 26-29 is the copy of document, which is copy of the sale deed of property, B-66, Vivek Vihar, purchased by the assessee for Rs. 22,00,000/- on the basis of which the jurisdiction has been assumed u/s 153C. PB 30-33 in the copy of return of the assessee wherein at PB-33, the property B-66, Vivek Vihar has been shown for Rs. 11,72,959/- (being half share of the assessee, inclusive of expenses).

..... sale of capital assets take place the capital gain arising out of such transfer has to be computed by looking at full value of consideration received or accruing as a result of such transfer.

Thus for the purpose of computing capital gain there is no necessity to determine the fair market value unless it is specifically provided in the Act. Reliance is placed on the following authorities:- Moral Trading & Investment Ltd. vis. DCIT (2011) 007 ITR (Trib) 0548 (Delhi) CIT vis. I.P. Chaudhari (2010) 328 ITR0007 (Del) CIT v.

..... that when a sale of capital assets take place the capital gain arising out of such transfer has to be computed by looking at full value of consideration received or accruing as a result of such transfer. The expression "full value of consideration" is not the same as "fair market value" as appearing in section 55A of the Act. Thus for the purpose of computing capital gain there is no necessity to determine the fair market value unless it is specifically provided in the Act. We have perused the following case laws as relied cited by the Ld. CIT(A), which supports the case of the Assessee:- Moral Trading & Investment Ltd. vis.
