S. 28(i) : Business income-Adventure in nature of trade-Sale of land within four months from date of purchase-Assessable as business income.

Held, that the assessees had sold a piece of land for Rs. 50 lakhs within a period of four months from the date of its purchase at Rs. 7,50,000.  There was no evidence to show that the purchase and sale of the property was with an intention of investment. The intention of the assessee was to resell the land and not to hold it. Therefore, the Commissioner (Appeals) was right in treating the sale transaction as an adventure in the nature of trade.
