Agricultural Land does fall not under definition of capital Asset under section 2(47) of Income Tax Act.
How ever Agriculture land kept as Stock in trade does not attract exemption from Tax because it does not fulfill the requirement to become a land, an agriculture land, more over sale of Stock in Trade is taxable under the head Income from Business (PGBP) hence contention of Income Tax Officer is correct and your client cann't avail exemption.
