In our opinion, the similar issue thus has already been decided on merit by the learned PCIT in the case of Shri Yogeshbhai Laxmanbhai Makwana, one of the co-owners of the property in question, after taking into consideration all the relevant aspects and we do not find any justifiable reason to take a different view in the matter. We accordingly direct the Assessing Officer to adopt the rate of ₹ 250/- per sq. yard as the cost of acquisition as on 01.04.1981 being the fair market value of the property in question while computing the Long Term Capital Gain and allow Ground No.2 of the assessee s appeal.

Sir, in the registered Banakhat or registered Sales Deed we as a Seller of said property have never declared that we have sold a Open to Sky Land nor the Buyer has declared that they have purchased a Open to Sky Land from us.

Sir, as per the original Lease Deed executed on 03/05/1947, the value for 8470 Sq. Yard Land was decided to be ₹ 42,350/= as agreed on 03/05/1947. If the amount of ₹ 42,350/= was kept in a Saving Bank Account on 03/05/1947 then what would be the accumulated value with interest (considering Rate of Interest @ 4%, as applied for Saving Bank Account, which is exempted from Income Tax) for the period from 03/05/1947 up to 01/04/1981 (for 137 Quarters)..?.

..... sidential purpose but in no circumstance a multistory building for commercial purpose or residential purpose can be constructed in such a small residential plot located in a slum area of Rabari Vas with such narrow entrance. As per Government Norms for the construction of any multistory building the plot area should have good approach road with sufficient Open to Sky land (for the reason of fire safety purpose and Transportation of Goods Public Services). The rate of such a mall residential plot in slum area can't be considered for the valuation of our plo5 bid is good indication that if a small residential plot in a slum area with very narrow entrance and without any facility is sold at the rate of 80.00 per Sq. Yard then the value of our commercial cum residential plot is a justified value. Sir, the rate of a commercial cum residential plot is always much higher compared to the residential plot and the value of our plot is correct in all terms and means. 15.

Since the said mistakes were glaring and accepted even by the Registered Valuer in his statement recorded on oath, the Assessing Officer adopted the fair market value of the land of the assessee as on 01.04.1981 at ₹ 80/- per sq. yard rejecting the contention of the assessee that the rate of ₹ 250/- per sq. yard was determined by the Registered Valuer on the basis of other factors also. The Assessing Officer thus held that what was sold by the assessee was only the non-agricultural open land of 5954 sq. yards without there being any residential bungalow or commercial property as claimed by the assessee. He accordingly adopted the cost of acquisition of the land so sold by the assessee being the fair market value of the land as on 01.04.1981 calculated by applying rate of ₹ 80/- per sq. yard on the area of 5954 sq. yards and allowed deduction for the same applying the indexation. He rejected the claim of the assessee for deduction on account of cost of construction of bungalow and commercial area by holding that the same was not subject matter of transfer.

The deduction on account of cost of acquisition is to be allowed with reference to the property sold or transferred by the assessee and since there is nothing on record to conclusively prove that the residential and commercial construction was also transferred by the assessee, we find ourselves in agreement with the authorities below that what was transferred or sold by the assessee was only the non-agricultural open land and the assessee, therefore, was not entitled for deduction on account of cost of acquisition of residential and commercial construction. Ground No.4 of the assessee s appeal is accordingly dismissed. 18.
