Neither AO nor ld CIT(A) have brought on record any substantive evidence to the contrary. So we are not in agreement with the conclusion of the ld CIT(A) that sale is complete. Sale of flat would only be completed after fulfilment of remaining conditions - we are inclined to set aside the order of ld CIT(A) on this issue and direct the AO delete the addition of short te .....

CIT (A) erred in confirming the AO's action of disallowing the depreciation on flat of ₹ 2,01,120/- claimed by appellant u/s. 32 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. 5. The appellant craves leave to add to, alter, amend and /or delete all or any of the foregoing grounds of appeal. 6. The appellant prays before the Hon'ble Tribunal to delete the additions made by the AO and to the extent confirmed by the Ld. CIT(A). 3.
