Issues Involved:
1. Jurisdiction of CIT under section 263 of the Income-tax Act.
2. Correctness of the computation of capital gains and deductions under section 54.
3. Validity of the cost of construction and valuation of land as on 1-4-1981.
4. Application of mind by the Assessing Officer during the reassessment proceedings.

Detailed Analysis:

1. Jurisdiction of CIT under section 263:
The CIT issued a common show-cause notice under section 263, challenging the Assessing Officer's (AO) assessment orders for being erroneous and prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue. The CIT argued that the AO did not properly apply the law or examine relevant facts, particularly concerning the computation of capital gains and deductions under section 54. The CIT set aside the assessments and directed fresh assessments.

2. Correctness of the computation of capital gains and deductions under section 54:
The AO initially assessed the income chargeable under the head 'Capital gains' during the reassessment proceedings. The assessee converted her 20% share in a plot of land into stock-in-trade and started a joint development project with M/s. United Builders. The AO found that the entire long-term capital gain of Rs. 1,95,500 should be taxed in the assessment year 1997-98. However, the CIT argued that the deduction under section 54 was incorrectly computed, as the cost of land was included in the cost of flats, which was not permissible. The CIT also raised issues regarding the cost of construction being abnormally high and the valuation of land as on 1-4-1981.

3. Validity of the cost of construction and valuation of land as on 1-4-1981:
The AO accepted the cost of construction based on a certificate from a Chartered Accountant and the valuation of land as on 1-4-1981 based on a registered valuer's report. The CIT contended that the cost of construction was abnormally high and should have been referred to the valuation cell. The CIT also questioned the valuation of land, arguing that it was based on presumptions and did not consider the leasehold nature of the property.

4. Application of mind by the Assessing Officer during the reassessment proceedings:
The assessee's counsel argued that the AO had examined all relevant issues in detail during the reassessment proceedings, and the assessee provided detailed explanations and documents. The AO's acceptance of the assessee's computation was based on these submissions. The CIT's invocation of section 263 was challenged as being based on assumptions without any new material or evidence. The tribunal held that the AO had applied his mind and made a quasi-judicial decision, which could not be termed erroneous simply because the CIT disagreed with the conclusion.

Conclusion:
The tribunal quashed the CIT's order under section 263, holding that the AO had duly examined the relevant issues, and there was no material to show that the AO's order was erroneous or prejudicial to the interests of the Revenue. The assessee's appeals were allowed.
