1. "Capital Gains" exemption is applicable "only" if property "was" purchased using own funds. This should have been recorded in the Income Tax returns of earlier years.
2. Here since the Pagdi-Tenant, is receiving property due to "compensation factor" without inputting his own funds, the "Capital Gains" exemption cannot be claimed.
