The only effective ground raised by assessee in this appeal with tribunal is with respect to chargeability to tax of long term capital gains earned by assessee on sale of land to her husband , which was not disclosed by assessee in return of income filed with Revenue. we are of the considered view that the assessee deserves one more opportunity and the matter need to be remitted back to the file of the AO for fresh framing of assessment denovo after considering all the explanations/evidences filed by the assessee in its defense including customary law applicable to assessee and her husband which has attained force of law and is not in conflict with specific provisions of 1961 Act and investigation of facts. We clarify that it is the assessee who is contending that sale transaction executed by her through registered sale deed in favour of her husband is a sham transaction , and thus the onus is on the assessee to prove that it was a sham transaction and it is for the assessee to rebut the presumption that transfer was complete when registered sale deed was executed by assessee and possession handed over to husband of the assessee , by cogent evidence in de novo assessment proceedings before AO. The AO shall allow assessee to file evidences/explanations in her defense in set aside assessment proceedings which shall be admitted by the AO in the interest of substantial justice and then the issue be adjudicated on merits in accordance with law. Needless to say that the AO shall give proper and adequate opportunity of being heard to the assessee in accordance with principles of natural justice in accordance with law in denovo assessment proceedings. We order accordingly.
