The subsequent sale deed has been entered into with a view to restore the said property in the name of husband which actually belonged to the husband all along and the assessee committed a mistake in executing sale deed instead of gift deed.

The sale deed dated 27.12.2008 was executed to handover the agricultural land back to husband for which no consideration whatsoever was received by the assessee. The only mistake committed was that instead of execution gift deed a sale deed was executed to restore the legal rights of husband.
