[IF YOU WANT TO USE ANY OF THE JUDGEMENT OR TEXT THEN DO DISCUSS WITH ME FIRST AS THE LAW HAD BEEN AMENDED, BUT THESE CASES STILL HOLD UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES]

I have mentioned it time and again that for the purpose of sec 54 and 54F

INVESTMENT is to be made within specified time limit and COMPLETION of construction does not matter. For this following case laws may be reffered

B.B. Sarkar v. CIT [1981] 132 ITR 150 (Cal.)

Satish Chandra Gupta v. Assessing Officer [1995] 54 ITD 508

Commissioner of Income-tax v. R.L. Sood

CONTRARY JUDGEMENT

K.C. Kaushik v. P.B. Rane, ITO [1990] 84 CTR (Bom.) 62

CIT v D. Ananda Basappa ( 2009 ) 20 DTR 266 (Kar)

There are other contrary judgements at high court level. Some of them including the one of larger bench are also given ,with their view points, in the above discussion

There is no judgement at Supreme court level but since recent high court judgement have been very much in favour of assesse. Assesse may claim the benefit but they should consider the facts of the cases. The main purpose of bringing the sec was to assisst those who would sell their house to settle in new house AND to encourage DEVELOPMENT through construction of new properties. So if IT amendes the provision and restrict the limit to only 1 house property , ruling out the judgement in Gita Duggal and Syed Ali, then one should not be very much surprised. But however the decision made in CIT v D. Ananda Basappa ( 2009 ) 20 DTR 266 (Kar) might still hold. This however is my opinion.

Department tried to file SLP in SC in Ananda Basappa case and SC rejected the petition

In CIT v. Podar Cement P. Ltd. [1997] 226 ITR 625 (SC), the Supreme Court has also accepted the theory of constructive ownership Commissioner of Income Tax Vs.V. Natarajan : (2006) 287 ITR 271 (Madras High Court) Director of Income-tax, International Taxation, Bangalore : (2011) 203 Taxman 208 ( Karnataka High Court) The Andhra Pradesh High Court in the case of Late Mir Gulam Ali Khan v. CIT [1987] 165 ITR 228 (AP) has held that the object of granting exemption under section 54 of the Act is that an assessee who sells a residential house for purchasing another house must be given exemption so far as capital gains are concerned. The word "assessee" must . be given wide and liberal interpretation so as to include his legal heirs also. There is no warrant for giving too strict an interpretation to the word "assessee" as that would frustrate the object of granting exemption. '
