The grounds of appeal read as under:- On the facts and circumstances of the case, learned CIT (A) has erred in holding that base year for calculating indexed cost of acquisition would be 1981-82. On the facts and circumstances of the case, learned CIT (A) has erred in not appreciating that first year in which asset was held the assessee was the first year in which it was inherited by the assessee.
