Singh, J. <\/p>\n<p> 1. The Income-tax Appellate Tribunal, Allahabad Bench, Allahabad, has referred the following question for our opinion:\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8221; Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the provisions of Section 52 are attracted and the assessee is liable to pay tax on the capital gains ? &#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 2. The facts leading up to this case may be shortly stated. The assessee received a plot of land measuring 5 kattas 6 chits and 36 square feet in Lake Garden Area in the Bangur Land Development Scheme at Calcutta from his brother, Sri H. S. Ghosh, on July 2, 1963. This plot was sold by the assessee to Sri J. C. Sarvadhikari for a sum of Rs. 20,000 on March 21, 1964. The purchaser was the father-in-law of the assessee&#8217;s daughter. The Income-tax Officer took the View that inasmuch as the assessee had paid an amount of Rs. 21,123 and the fair market value of the property on the date of transfer was not less than Rs. 42,000, the provisions of Section 52 of the Act were applicable and as Such he imposed capital gains tax on the assessee in respect of this transaction. The decision was reversed by the Appellate Assistant Commissioner. The Tribunal has, however, taken the view that inasmuch as the consideration for which the assessee had sold the property was less than the fair market value, it could be inferred that the transaction was effected with the object of avoidance or reduction of the liability to tax. On this conclusion, it held that the case was covered by Section 52(1)<\/p>\n<p>of  the   Act   and   has  reversed  the   order   of   the   Appellate  Assistant Commissioner and upheld the order of the Income-tax Officer.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. Counsel for the department has tried to urge that the question as framed permitted the department to justify the imposition of capital gains tax with reference to Section 52(2) of the Act.    He drew our attention to a decision of the Supreme  Court   in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/929126\/\">Keshav Mills Co. Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income-tax<\/a> [1965] 56 ITR 365 (SC). We are, however, of the view, that it is not possible to permit the department to do so on  the facts of the present case.    The Appellate Assistant  Commissioner considered the imposition of tax with reference to Section 52(1) and went into the question as to whether the transaction has been effected with  a  view to avoid or reduce the tax  liability.    The  Tribunal  likewise proceeded  on the same footing. It referred to the decision of their Lordships of the Supreme Court in the case of ICI (India] Private Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income-tax [1972] 83 ITR 710 (SC) and laid down the requirements that had to be   fulfilled before the provisions of Section 52(1) of the Act could be applied to a particular  case.    It  specifically   went   into  the  question  as  to  whether  the transaction in dispute   was made with  a view  to avoid  or reduce the tax liability.    This being so, the question as referred must be read in the light of the decision given by the Tribunal,   and as  the Tribunal has considered the case only with reference to Section 52(1) of the Act, it is not possible for us to read the question as being of such a general nature as to permit the argument  sought  to   be   raised.    There is   also another difficulty which prevents us from considering the   question referred with reference to Section 52(2) of the Act  and that  is that  there  is nothing  on  the record to indicate that the Inspecting  Assistant Commissioner had given previous approval as is required by Section 52(2) of the Income-tax Act.   Counsel for the department urged that this may be presumed, on the principle that all official acts must be presumed to be  regularly done.    In the present case, however, it is not  possible  to  make such a  presumption as the  case has been considered only under Section 52(1) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. Considering the question with reference to Section 52(1) of the Income-tax Act, we are unable to uphold the view of the Tribunal. Before Section 52(1) can be applied, the Income-tax Officer must have reason to believe that the transfer was effected with the object of avoidance or reduction of the liability of the assessee under Section 45. The assessment order does not disclose any such satisfaction, neither does it contain any recital that the Income-tax Officer had reason to believe that the transaction in question was made for the object contemplated under Section 52(1) of the Act. The Tribunal has come to the conclusion that the transaction was effected for such a purpose, on account of the fact that the sale consideration was very low and had no relation to the fair market value, and<\/p>\n<p>further that in case the property had been sold for the actual market value,<br \/>\nthe assessee would have become liable to a higher amount of tax as his<br \/>\nincome for that year was nearly Rs. 43,000. There seems to be an error in<br \/>\nthis approach. The formation of the belief that the transaction has been<br \/>\neffected in order to avoid or reduce the tax liability has to be initially that<br \/>\nof the Income-tax Officer. We have already indicated that the assessment<br \/>\norder does not indicate that the Income-tax Officer entertains such a belief.\n<\/p>\n<p>This being so, it was not open to the Tribunal to infer from the facts as is<br \/>\nexisting on the record, that the Income-tax Officer must have entertained<br \/>\nsuch a belief. In a case where the assessment order does not indicate the<br \/>\nformation of any such reasonable belief as is contemplated by Section 52(1)<br \/>\nof the Act, the infirmity cannot be cured on appeal before the Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n<p>Counsel for the department urged that the question as to whether the<br \/>\ntransaction was entered into with a view to avoid the tax liability is a<br \/>\nquestion of fact and it is not open for us to go into the question in this<br \/>\nreference. He drew our attention to a decision of the Supreme Court in<br \/>\nthe case of <a href=\"\/doc\/1421992\/\">Karnani Properties Ltd. v. Commissioner of Income-tax<\/a> [1971] 82<br \/>\nITR 547 (SC). We do not dispute the principle laid down in Karnani Properties Ltd., [1971] 82 ITR 547 (SC), that unless an appropriate question<br \/>\nchallenging a finding of fact has been referred, it is not open to go into that<br \/>\nquestion. In the present case, we feel that the question as framed<br \/>\nenvisages an inquiry as to whether the finding of the Tribunal that the<br \/>\nIncome-tax Officer could be ascribed with the belief that the transaction<br \/>\nwas one for avoidance of tax, is correct as the second part of the question<br \/>\nis couched in the words &#8220;and the assessee is liable to pay tax on the<br \/>\ncapital gains &#8220;. This postulates an inquiry as to whether all the ingredients<br \/>\nthat are necessary for making the assessee liable to capital gains were<br \/>\npresent. We have already held that the Income-tax Officer had in fact not<br \/>\nformed a reasonable belief, as is required under Section 52(1) of the Act,<br \/>\nand this being, so the requirements of Section 52(1) are not satisfied in the<br \/>\npresent case.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. We, therefore, answer the question by saying that the provisions of Section 52 were riot attracted, and the assessee is not liable to pay tax on the capital gains. The assessee is entitled to his costs which is assessed at Rs. 200. Counsel&#8217;s fee is assessed at the same figure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allahabad High Court H.B.
