14.4. On the other hand, in this case the payments were made to AIPL in the Financial Year 2003-2004. Clause 16 of the Agreement clearly states that:

"As the second party has already made payment of 95% of sale consideration, therefore, physical possession of the said plot has been handed over by the first party to the second party".

14.5. All the six agreements to sell were duly signed on 18th and 24th of March 2004 by Mr. Aditya Wadhera Addl. G. M. (Mktg) & Mr. Bawa Kapoor -A.G.M. (Sales) of AIPL on behalf of that company. All the six plots purchased were located in plots approved for school and dispensary in Palam Vihar, which was already a well-developed colony. These personnel are unrelated, professional executives of a public limited company which is listed on major stock exchanges. The Assessing Officer has cast a doubt on the genuineness of these agreement without even bothering to examine the authorized signatories of AIPL who signed the agreements on behalf of AIPL or the Chief Project Manager (services), Palam Vihar Project, who handed over the possession of six plots to the assessee trust.
