However, ld A.R. submitted that the issue is covered in favour of the assessee by the decision of ITAT dated 11.1.2010 in the case of co-owner namely Mrs. Kailash Premnarayan for assessment year 2004-05 in ITA No.6293/Mum/2007 in the appeal filed by the department and in ITA No.6133/Mum/2007 appeal filed by the assessee, wherein it was held that transaction is not an adventure in the nature of trade and the entire income earned by the assessee as well as other family members is taxable as capital gains.

The AO stated that the family members converted capital assets into stock-in-trade and, accordingly, he computed the income of the co-owners as capital gain u/s.45(2) of the Act. The AO bifurcated the profit from construction activity and capital gain on conversions of capital assets as per section 45(2) of the Act.

Hence, Grounds taken by department are dismissed. 5. It is relevant to state that at the time of hearing ld. AR fairly stated that if the appeal of the department is dismissed, then the appeal of the assessee will become infructuous and may be dismissed accordingly. 6. Since we have dismissed the appeal of the department, the appeal of the assessee, is dismissed. 7. In the result, the appeal of the Revenue and the appeal filed by assessee both are dismissed.
