2022 (11) TMI 1102 - ITAT DEHRADUNGain on sale of land - nature of land sold - capital asset u/s 2(14) - HELD THAT:- We find that before the lower authorities, the objection of the assessee was regarding the applicability of provisions of capital gain as the sale of land in question was claimed to be an agricultural land. Also seen from the records that the AO has not carried out any inquiry to verify the claim of the assessee that the land in question was not capital asset on the ground that the population of the town was less than ten thousand and also as per the Notification issued by Government of India, the land was beyond the municipal limit. These issues require examination at the end of the AO. It is evident from the records that the AO had not carried out any inquiry to verify the correctness of the contention that the land in question would not fall within the purview of capital asset. We therefore, set aside the impugned order and restore the issue to the file of AO to decide it afresh. Needless to say that the AO would afford adequate opportunity to the assessee to prove his claim that the immovable properties that were sold by him during the year under consideration did not fall within the definition of capital asset as provided u/s 2(14) of the Act. Thus, grounds raised by the assessee are allowed for statistical purposes.
