..... the query raised, the assessee furnished its reply. On perusing the reply of the assessee, the Assessing Officer observed that the assessee has stated that all the rights relating to the land such as development, marketing and sales has been given to M/s. Parsvnath Developers Ltd. and the assessee has received the advances of Rs. 1,50,00,000 against sale of land in earlier years. After verifying the details furnished by the assessee including various agreements, the Assessing Officer observed that assessee s claim that all rights relating to development, marketing and sale of land belong to M/s. Parsvnath Developers Ltd. is untenable. He further rejected assessee s claim that it is a landholding company of the subject land and for the sale of property to various customers by the developer company, the assessee has to execute sale deed as per the transaction of the developer company. He observed that assessee s contention that it has not made any sale/purchase of immoveable property in its own capacity is not correct as the assessee is legal and beneficial owner as well as in possession of the land. He further observed, in assessment year 2013-14, there was a complete change in the .....

Having considered rival submissions, we find that while deciding identical issue in assessee s own case in assessment year 2012-13 in the order referred to above, the Tribunal has upheld the deletion of similar addition with the following observations: 7.
