Bot Summary: i. In the facts and circumstances of the case, whether the Hon ble Tribunal is correct in law in holding that the flats which are not let out for the residential purpose and also which are not qualified as commercial establishment or complex are exempt from Wealth Tax ii. In the facts and circumstances of the case, whether the Hon ble Tribunal is correct in law in holding that merely because income has shown under the head of house property a property let out for business purpose is exempt from Wealth Tax We have heard Sri B. Narasimha Sarma, learned counsel for the appellant, and examined the judgment and order of the learned Tribunal. It appears that the learned Tribunal on fact found that there has not been total change in the nature of the property and only development agreement was entered into before conversion of the land and it cannot be assessed as acquisition of wealth as the value thereof remains within the exempted limit. In view of the appreciation of fact, we do not find any element of law to decide in this appeal.
