In the present case, the assessee was given full opportunity before making addition. The ld. DR vehemently supported the order of the authorities below. 10. We have heard the rival contentions of both the parties and perused the materials available on record.

The assessee has placed on record copy of application dated 22-12-2011 along with the copy of return of income with computation of total income of his co-owner who declared similar capital gain and claimed similar exemption.
