17 September 2012 A and B have a joint saving account.

Always B deposits funds in the account.

A buys a property in sole ownership by issuing checks from the joint account.

1) Is there any tax liability on A at this point ?

2) In future, this property is sold with some capital gain. Do both OR only A has to declare this gain ?

18 September 2012 You have to see the agreement between them. If b gives money forever it shall be treated as transfer of income and consequently shall be taxable in hands of A.(is A and B are not relatives). If b gives on returnable basis(loan) then it shall not b taxable in the hands of b.
