Therefore, the capital gain computed by adopting the sales consideration at ₹ 70,03,999/- should not be sustained. I have gone through the order dated 14.08.2012 of Rajasthan Kar Board, Ajmer. It can be seen that the Rajasthan Kar Board, Ajmer has Set-aside ( अपास्त) the order dated 20.08.2010 of the Collector Stamp. During the course of assessment proceedings as well as appellate proceedings (remand proceedings), the appellant was requested to give the current status of the case.
