..... dmitted impugned long term capital gains in its case. He has replied in negative. Nor does he place on record HUF’s record showing his asset’s ownership in the past. The case file demonstrates that the said HUF holds a PAN (page no.78). Therefore, we observe that the assessee is not entitled to shift assessment of impugned capital gains in HUF’s hands. Therefore, the assessee’s arguments challenging assessment of capital gains in his hands rather than HUFs fail.

..... harsinh P. Jadeja, the facts show that the property was acquired by him by way of conquest and, therefore, the cost of acquisition in that case was NIL and accordingly the capital gain could not be applied to the consideration received on account of sale. In contrast to this, the appellant's property is an inherited property which was acquired by the forefathers of the appellant long time back and the appellant had not made any effort to find out the cost of acquisition to the previous owner who has acquired the property by any mode other than the will or inheritance. The appellant is trying to take refuge in the provisions or section 49(1) which is apparently misplaced. The appellant has not been able to give any documentary evidence o .....

O. in making the addition on account of long term capital gain on sale of land is upheld. The ground of appeal is, therefore, dismissed. The appellan .....

We admit these additional grounds accordingly. 4.1 We come to assessee s arguments for taxability of the long term capital gains in HUF s case rather than in individual s hands first. We put up a specific query to the ld AR as to whether the said HUF has ever shown the capital asset in question in its books or admitted impugned long term capital gains in its case. He has replied in negative. Nor does he place on record HUF s record showing his asset s ownership in the past. The case file demonstrates that the said HUF holds a PAN (page no.78). Therefore, we observe that the assessee is not entitled to shift assessment of impugned capital ga .....
