Section 2(1-A) amended retrospectively to restrict agricultural land exemption to rural areas, introducing concept of "urban agricultural land" under "capital asset" definition. Tribunal refused to admit additional grounds on merits of Section 115JB MAT computation. Once agricultural land income exempt, cannot be added to book profits for MAT. Tribunal should have allowed submissions before dismissing grounds. HC allowed appeal, set aside Tribunal order, answered legal question in appellant's favor.
