The appellant argued that the land was used for agricultural purposes and cited a precedent from the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi. The Tribunal examined the certificates and evidence provided by the appellant and found that the land was not used for agricultural purposes but was developed for commercial purposes. The Tribunal upheld the addition of Rs. 2,02,55,545/- as capital gain. However, the Tribunal allowed the appeal for statistical purposes and directed the Assessing Officer to reexamine the issue afresh.…
