PER: T.R. MEENA, A.M.
The assessee has filed the present stay petition on 30/05/2014 for A.Y.
2008-09.
2. In this case the Assessing Officer passed order U/s 144/148 of the
Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short the Act) due to non-cooperation of the
assessee and calculated long term capital gain at Rs. 49,95,332/-. The learned 2 S.A. No. 09/JP/2015 Ram Narayan Vs. ITO
CIT(A), Kota also confirmed the addition by giving a detail reasoned order and
not allowed deduction U/s 54B of the Act. The land purchased in the name of
wife from the sale consideration. The total demand was as under:-
Tax :- Rs. 14,91,027/- Interest U/s 234A :- Rs. 1,78,923/- Interest U/s 234B :- Rs. 4,92,039/-
3. It was argued by the learned A.R. that the appellant has every hope of
success in the appeal as based on sound legal grounds. It is further argued
that the both the authorities have violated the principle of rule and confirmed
the addition. The assessee has invested substantial part of sale consideration
in new house, construction thereof and new agricultural land. He has no other
source of income and also not having liquidated fund to meet out the demand
of revenue. He is presently not feeling well and as such is not in position to
satisfy the demand of tax and interest disputed in the appeal. Therefore, he
prayed to stay the demand in the interest of justice. He also relied upon the
various case laws including the various instructions of the CBDT.
4. At the outset, the learned Sr. D.R. argued that the assessee's attitude
was non-cooperative with the lower authorities and had not adduced any
evidence against the claim. The learned CIT(A) has passed a reasoned order
and dismissed the assessee's appeal. She further argued that the appellant 3 S.A. No. 09/JP/2015 Ram Narayan Vs. ITO
had not produced evidence of liquidity/fund position before the Hon'ble Bench.
Therefore, the stay petition may be rejected.
5. We have heard the rival contentions of both the parties and perused the
material available on the record. It is undisputed fact that the assessee's
attitude with the Assessing Officer was non-cooperative. The learned AR also
not able to demonstrate the financial position of the assessee and also had not
met out his case that the assessee is likely to be succeeded, which will be
decided after due course of hearing. Accordingly, the stay petition filed by the
assessee is dismissed.
6. In the result, the stay petition is dismissed.
Order pronounced in the open court on 26/02/2015.
