Held by Calcutta High Court in Smt. Mina Deogun "We can imagine a situation where a person can be the owner of the land and another can be the owner of the structure. This is permissible in law because in joint ownership unity of title is not required. In the case before us the land admittedly belonged to the husband. He has raised the building with the joint funds belonging to himself and his wife. Therefore, one inference which can be drawn is that the land belonging to the husband has been thrown into the common stock of joint property between the husband and the wife. Both of them thus became the joint owners by operation of the doctrine of blending. They admittedly have borne the cost of construction in the ratio of 1/3rd and 2/3rd. Therefore, the income arising out of the property is in fact an income arising out of house property which has to be taxed under Section 22 rather than as an income arising out of other sources under Section 56.
