If the land is rural agricultural land, your case is strong because such land is not a capital asset under Section 2(14), and several ITAT decisions have held that Section 56(2)(x) should not apply. Even otherwise, you can argue for DVO valuation and challenge inflated stamp duty value to reduce or eliminate the addition.

Sir, I shall be highly thankful if your kind authority provide the case law with title of judgement passed in favour of the assessee
