The Tribunal on its part re-examined the conditions of the
agreement and as to how the parties understood the nature of

claimed as cost of acquisition in computation of capital gain and
the finding of the assessing officer that the assessee had not
paid any price for purchasing the tenancy right is false. The
Tribunal noted the decision of this Court in the case A. Gasper
Vs. CIT 1979 (117) ITR 581 (Cal) wherein it was held that the
monthly tenancy of the assessee was a capital asset as defined
under Section 2(14) of the Act. Further, it was held that the
assessee's monthly tenancy right or the leasehold right is a
capital asset and on such transfer his rights in it stood
extinguished and the amount received by the assessee must be held
7

assessee.
