2016 (8) TMI 131 - HC - Wealth-taxAsset within the meaning of Section 2-E(a) of the Wealth Tax Act - interpreting the phrase “Commercial Establishment” or “Complexes” - Held that:- considering the decision of this Court in the case of Vasumatiben Chhaganlal Virani (2013 (9) TMI 957 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT ), the question, which is raised in the present appeals is required to be the assessee. We are not giving any elaborate reasons for the same as in the case of Vasumatiben Chhaganlal Virani (Supra) it is held by this Court exception sub-clause(3) of clause(i) of section 2(ea) pertains to any house which the assessee may occupy for the purposes of any business or profession carried on by him. Thus whenever legislature desired that exclusion may apply only if property is self occupied, it was so provided. Significantly, in sub-clause(5), there is no such insistence and that it nowhere provides that only if such commercial complex is occupied by the owner then alone the exclusion shall take effect.. Question raised for consideration in the present appeals are answered in favour of the assessee
