Ashis Mukerji vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. on 11 July, 1996
There is also no doubt that an
agreement is an arrangement. It must therefore be held that the
collaboration agreement effectuates a transfer of the subject land from
Vidarbha Engineering to Unitech within the meaning of the term in Section
269UA of the Act. It appears to be the intention of the Parliament to
cover all such transactions by which valuable rights in property are in
fact transferred by one party to another for consideration, under the word
“transfer”, for fulfilling the purpose of pre-emptive purchase i.e.
prevention of tax evasion. A Judgment of the Patna High Court in Ashis
Mukerji v. Union of India and Ors[5] cited before us takes the view that a
development agreement is covered by the definition of transfer in Section
269UA. We note the same with approval.

several contentions. They maintained that the impugned order did not
contain any finding that the consideration for the transaction was
undervalued by the parties in order to evade taxes, which is the mischief
sought to be prevented. Shri Mohta, the learned senior advocate,
maintained that it was necessary for the authority to come to the
conclusion that there is an attempt to or in fact an evasion of taxes
before directing compulsory purchase. The learned senior counsel referred
to a decision of the Bombay High Court in Amarjit Thapar v. S.K. Laul &
Ors. [2008] 298 ITR 336. The Bombay High Court observed as follows:
C.B. Gautam vs Union Of India & Ors on 17 November, 1992
In view of the judgment of the Supreme Court in C.B.Gautam (supra), unless
the difference in the apparent effective consideration and the market value
is more than 15%, the Appropriate Authority cannot assume jurisdiction
under section 269-UD of the Act. The same does not mean that the mere fact
that such difference is more than 15% will, automatically, lead to the
conclusion that there has been undervaluation of property with the motive
of evading tax.
