The Tribunal held that the surrender of tenancy right was a “transfer” as defined under the Act and that the consideration received on such transfer was assessable to tax under section 45 of the Act and not under the head ‘Income from Other Sources’. It further allowed deduction under section 48 of the Act for expenses incurred on dismantling factory constructed on lease-hold land while computing capital gains upon surrender of lease hold rights on the ground that it was wholly and exclusively in connection with the transfer irrespective of the fact that the expenses were incurred by a person other than the assessee.
