I am taking recourse to a judgment rendered by the Delhi HC in the case of Shanti Bhushan vs CIT where the expenses on heart surgery was disallowed stating that heart did not meet functionality test and that its cost of acquistion could not be determined. Based on this judgment it can be said that, the income cannot be taxed as Capital Gain or as Business Income.
A mischievous AO may attempt to tax it as Income from Other Sources.
