Bot Summary: | The assessee has valued the property under r. 1BB. The property is a house in an area of 115 cents. Under r. 1BB if the unbuilt land exceeds the specified area by 10 per cent but not 15 per cent 30 per cent of the value has to be added. Since the unbuilt area of 97.5 cents was more than the specified area of 80.5 cents by 10 per cent, the assessee added 30 per cent to the capitalised value of the maintainable rent and returned the value of Rs. 33,605. The WTO added another sum of Rs. 4,50,000 on the ground that 45 cents of the land should be considered to be an independent property. Before us it was contended on behalf of the assessee that the entire property was one unit and if it is valued as per r. 1BB there cannot be an addition for the land separately. Admittedly, the entire property is one dwelling unit abutting the road on one side with vacant area used as a garden in front. In the circumstances, the authorities below were not at all justified in bifurcating the property and valuing the land separately when it was part of a single property which came under the purview of r.1BB and had been valued thereunder. |
