Under these facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the opinion that the entire issue involved in this appeal has to be re-examined after considering the relevant material.

The Assessing Officer did not consider the explanation submitted by the assessee that the exemption claimed is not covered under section 5 6 of the Wealth Tax Act. 25. On appeal, ld. CWT(A) scaled down the market value of rent at 5,000/- per sq.yard in relation to structure and directed the Assessing Officer to value the same at ₹ 14,40,000/-. Both the Assessing Officer and the ld. CIT(A) have not considered the submissions made by the assessee with regard to exemption claimed under section 5 6 of the Wealth Tax Act.
