Case Note: Natesan Ekambaram v. DCIT, Central Circle-1(2), Chennai

Urban agricultural land within statutory limits is taxable as a capital asset. Registered sale deed consideration prevails unless contrary evidence exists. Exemption under Section 54F cannot be denied on technicalities if substantive bank evidence supports construction investment. Mere assertion of ancestral origin is insufficient to establish co-ownership without documentary proof.
