Chhotalal Prabhudas vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax, Gujarat-V on 10 October, 1978

21. We may also point out that in CIT v. Manilal Somnath, it was held that the fact that the land was within municipal limits or the fact that it was included within the draft town planning scheme would not by themselves dislodge the presumption flowing from the actual user of the land. In the instant case the point to be emphasised is that after the reconversion back to agricultural use in 1952, nothing had happened till the date of sale to show that the character of the lands had ceased to be that of agricultural lands. What we have to consider is not what the purchaser did with the lands or what the purchaser was supposed to do with the land, but what was the character of the lands at the time when the sale took place.

Maganalal Morarbhai vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax, Gujarat on 31 January, 1979

11. In view of the legal position which we have set out hereinabove, it must be pointed out that, prima facie, the presumption from the actual user of the land, namely, agricultural user, would arise in the instant case. A further presumption would arise from the entries in the revenue records and neither of these presumptions is rebutted by the presence of any other factor in this case. No factor has been pointed out in this case which would go to show that either of these two presumptions is rebutted in the instant case. The Pani Patraks which were produced before the ITO and which were mentioned by the Tribunal in its order go to show that continuously, right down till the date of the sale, so far as the land sold to the co-operative society is concerned and the balance so far as the balance of the land is concerned even after the date of sale, it was being used continuously for agricultural purposes. Morarbhai, the original purchaser's father of the assessee, purchased the land as far back as 1921. Till his death, he used the land for agricultural purposes band till the date of the sale, the land was being used for agricultural purposes by Maganbhai, the assessee. Under these circumstances, in the absence of any other material on record, it cannot be said that the land had lost its agricultural character. As pointed out by this court in Manilal Somnath's case [1977] 106 ITR 917 (Guj), the land had undoubtedly potential non-agricultural value and for the potential non-agricultural value the purchaser was prepared to pay a high price, but such potential non-agricultural value does not detract from the character of the land as agricultural land at the date of the sale. It is true that agricultural land would not be sold by yardage at the rate of Rs. 6.95 per square yard, but this high price reflects potential non-agricultural value. It does not mean that the land had ceased to be agricultural land because of this price or because of the permission to sell the land to a non-agriculturist.

Chandravati Atmaram Patel vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax, ... on 15 September, 1977

In the circumstances, we think it appropriate to decline to answer the question on the ground that the Tribunal has failed to consider and decide the question whether the land was agricultural land from the correct angle, that is, has not considered the question whether the land under consideration was agricultural land or not from the proper perspective and the proper angle has not applied the correct law to this point and its whole approach was erroneous in the lights of the law as explained by this court in Manilal Somnath's case [1917] (Guj) and by the Supreme Court in Commissioner of Wealth-tax v. Officer-in- Charge (Court of Wards) [1976] 105 ITR 133, and the Tribunal had not considered all appropriate provisions of law applicable to this question.
