Dear Sandip,
From your question it seems that there are two propoerties and the second one has nothing to do with the first one because it was puchased in 2007-08 and the fist on is sold on 2008-09, as far as the accounting treatments are concerned. Capital gain is a taxation matter and it will not reflect in books thru accounting entry. Only profit in selling the property will appear in the books of accounts.

You are confusing accounting & taxation. If you go by Accounting in 2008-09 you book a profit of 2200000 & purchase of another property will stand in books at 1200000/-.
If you go by taxation, you will take advantage of indexation & calculate capital gain & pay tax thereon.

In which year do you want to pass the entries,in the year of sale or in the current accounting year? In that year which account did you credit the sale proceeds to? was it routed through bank? The entry will depend on your answer to these querries
