..... s which were received by the HUP from selling of the property have been used by the individual in purchase and construction of the property. The appellant has not shown that there was a partition in the HUF that the assets of the HUF were distributed amongst its coparceners as otherwise the individual assessee could not have received the funds and could not have invested the same in the residential house which is in his individual name and not in the time of the HUF. 8.5. On perusal of valuation report submitted in appeal, it is seen that it is not mentioned on what basis the valuer decided the construction expenditure made during the period of Dec 2010 to Dec 2011. The details of bills voucher regarding expenses of labour, material purchase, contractor etc. are not mentioned in the valuation report.
