Accordingly issued the notice under section. 148 of the Act.  On writ allowing the petition the Court held that since assessee had already disclosed sale consideration from transaction and had bifurcated said amount under head building and under head land and furthermore assessee had also paid STCG and LTCG, it could not be said that taxable income had escaped assessment.
