R. Samantha Ravindran [ 2013 (3) TMI 271 - MADRAS HIGH COURT] wherein, it has been held that the value of property transferred prior to 01.10.2009 cannot be computed under amended provisions, which came into effect on 01.10.2009 (the word or assessable was inserted w.e.f. 01.10.2009). Keeping in view of the facts and circumstances as explained above we are of the considered view that section 50C is not applicable in the case of the assessee. But the Ld. CIT has wrongly applied the same by ignoring the well reasoned order passed by the AO in the case of the assessee. Therefore, the second issue relating to applicability of Section 50C in the case of assessee is also decided in favour of the assessee and the order of the Ld. CIT on this issue is also cancelled. - Decided in favour of assessee.

Aggrieved by the same, assessee filed the appeal before the tribunal. 2.2 In the course of appellate proceedings before the Tribunal, Ld.

For the sake of convenience, the remaining grounds of appeal i.e. ground no. 3, 4, 5, & 6 are taken together. At the time of hearing, Ld.

Regarding applicability of S. 50C on capital gains from sale of shops in 'Arunachal Building' the Ld. CIT DR submitted that the Assessing Officer had failed to conduct inquiries in that regard. The Ld. CIT(DR) also filed submitted written submissions wherein reliance was placed on Malabar Ind. Co. Ltd. v/s CIT 243 ITR 83 (Supreme Court); Rajmandir Estates (P.) Ltd. vs. Or.

In support of his contention, Ld. Counsel for the assessee has also cited the decision of the Hon'ble Madras High Court in the case of CIT vs. R. Samantha Ravindran 352 ITR 488 wherein, it has been held that the value of property transferred prior to 01.10.2009 cannot be computed under amended provisions, which came into effect on 01.10.2009 (the word "or assessable" was inserted w.e.f. 01.10.2009). Keeping in view of the facts and circumstances as explained above and in view of the decision of the Hon'ble Madras High Court in the case of CIT vs. R. Samantha Ravindran (Supra), we are of the considered view that section 50C is not applicable in the case of the assessee. But the Ld.
