Receipt of Interest on amount received on compulsory acquisition of land for constructing a house - If only the petitioner is able to demonstrate that the petitioner's tax dues will be zero, if the interest amount is spread over from the year of acquisition till the date of payment, this Court can consider granting relief to the petitioner.The petitioner's counsel would contend that it is for the respondent to issue notice of assessment. I cannot countenance such a contention. We would be justified in ordering refund, only if the petitioner can demonstrate that he is not at all liable to pay any sum towards tax for the amount of compensation received by him. - HC
