Dear Sandip,
From your question it seems that there are two propoerties and the second one has nothing to do with the first one because it was puchased in 2007-08 and the fist on is sold on 2008-09, as far as the accounting treatments are concerned. Capital gain is a taxation matter and it will not reflect in books thru accounting entry. Only profit in selling the property will appear in the books of accounts.

You are confusing accounting & taxation. If you go by Accounting in 2008-09 you book a profit of 2200000 & purchase of another property will stand in books at 1200000/-.
If you go by taxation, you will take advantage of indexation & calculate capital gain & pay tax thereon.
