Sec. 2(47)(v) of Income Tax Act, 1961 — Capital Gain — The object of Section 2(47)(vi) appears to be to bring within the tax net a de facto transfer of any immovable property and the expression "enabling the enjoyment of" takes color from the earlier expression "transferring", so that it is clear that any transaction which enables the enjoyment of immovable property must be enjoyment as a purported owner thereof and the idea is to bring within the tax net, transactions, where, though title may not be transferred in law, there is, in substance, a transfer of title in fact, this being the case, it is clear that the assessee's rights in the said immovable property were extinguished on the receipt of the last cheque, as also that the compromise deed could be stated to be a transaction which had the effect of transferring the immovable property in question— Seshasayee Steels P.
