03 March 2013 Before reading the case law it is better to read the Section. Here , the Section relevant to Urban Agriculture Land, which you may refer is -Section 54B.
.
In case of such Urban Land which has not been used for Agriculture Purpose in preceding 2 years of sale- Capital gain will arise. The only disadvantage is -Benefit of Section 54B will not be available. Other Sections like 54F and 54EC will provide the benefit of exemption
.
In case of Rural Agriculture Land- the condition of its use for Agriculture Purpose is silent. So, it can be silently sold without making much hue and cry about its use.
