In these three references, an identical question has been referred by the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal for the opinion of this court. The question reads as under :

"Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, the Appellate Tribunal was justified in law in holding that no capital gain was assessable on the ground that the agricultural land in village Nangal Dewat belonging to the assessed did not fall within the definition of capital asset u/s 2(14)(iii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961

2. It may be noted that the Tribunal considered the decision in the case of Surjan Singh of Nangal Dewat and rendered the decision. Against the decision of the Tribunal, the revenue approached this court and the case in Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Surjan Singh, Kehar Singh, Prahlad, Rai Singh, Prahlad Singh, Nafe Singh, Bal Ram, Charan Singh, Jagdish and Jagdish, The question raised in the aforesaid appeal reads as under :
