..... sole purpose of executing relinquishment deed was to avoid the future dispute/litigation in respect of the share in the land. Thus, the relinquishment deed made it possible to share and distribute the sale consideration among the mother and sons excluding the daughters. Since, one of the sons expired therefore, the wife of the son is representing as legal heirs of the appeal. Accordingly, all sons and mother have shared the sale consideration received on transfer of the land in question and the deposit in bank account of the assessees is from amount received being represented as sale consideration. Hence, we find that the non acceptance of the explanation of source as well as the sharing of the sale consideration by these assessee by the a .....

..... Under the facts and circumstances of the case and under the law, the learned A.O. grossly erred in ignoring Sales Receipts of the Agricultural Land i.e. Sales consideration received by the appellant, ignoring Sec. 8 and Sec. 10 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, read with Sec. 4, 45 and 48 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This is in connection with the matter of her mother-in-law Dhapu Devi Meena (PAN: BZSPD1376G) 4.1) Under the facts and circumstances of the case and under the law, the learned A.O. has admitted that the agricultural land in question was ancestral and still, the Ld.

We find that the AO has applied the cost of acquisition of the land at nil without considering the provisions of the Income Tax Act in respect of the asset which was acquired by the assessee as under succession/ inheritance and previous owner the land had acquired the agricultural land prior to 01.04.1981. Therefore, we find substance and merit in the additional ground raised by the assessee so far as the cost of acquisition has to be determined by considering the relevant provisions of the Act as well as the fair market price of the land as on 01.04.1981. As regards the issue of assessing the capit .....

DR has raised the contention that once sons have signed and executed the relinquishment deed along with the daughters of late Shri Bhawara @ Bhura in favour of their mother then the subsequent sale would be treated as the sale by only one assessee Smt. Dhapu Devi Meena. We find that the relinquishment deed was executed as per their family arrangement and mutual understanding so that the family of the daughters of late Shri Bhawara @ Bhura and Smt. Dhapu Devi Meena would not claim the amount in future and therefore, the sole purpose of executing relinquishment deed was to avoid the future dispute/litigation in respect of the share .....
