  Continuation of provisional attachment - Attachment of petitioner’s company’s current bank account - time limitation - expiry of the mandatory period of one year prescribed under Sub-Section(2) of Section 83 of the CGST Act, 2017 - HELD THAT:- The issue in the Writ Petition relates to a provisional attachment order dt.07.06.2019 issued by the 2nd respondent and its continuing existence after 06.06.2020, i.e., after the expiry of one year from 07.06.2019, contrary to sub-Section(2) of Section 83 of the Act. The fact that the said attachment cannot continue in view of the sunset clause in sub-Section(2) of Section 83 of the Act beyond a period of one year from 07.06.2019, is not in dispute.

Similar is for the assessment year January, 2019 to December, 2019. Therefore, the execution of Garnishee Notice seeking attachment of ₹ 12,14,61,114/- appears to be on higher side.

  Reopening of assessment u/s 147 - Assessment barred by limitation - HELD THAT:- Even though the revenue of the State is involved in the present appeal filed by the Revenue may be more than ₹ 1 Crore, the limit prescribed in the CBDE Circular for withdrawal of the appeal, we do not find any merit in the present appeal filed by the Revenue for the reason that the learned Tribunal has categorically held that there was no failure on the part of the assessee, but disclosed the relevant facts and therefore, merely on the basis of the audit objection or change of opinion and re-assessment under Sections 147 & 148 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, could not be made beyond the period of four years from the end of the relevant assessment year 1997-98.

  Stay petition - HELD THAT:- Before the assessee had approached the Tribunal, the assessee had paid 25% of the disputed tax and as per the above orders, a further sum of ₹ 8,00,000/- had already been remitted. Therefore, we are of the considered view that the interest of the revenue is sufficiently safeguarded and nothing more is required to be done and the order of stay, which was initially granted on 11.06.2019 should continue till the appeal is heard and disposed of by the Tribunal. Writ petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside and in the light of the reasons assigned above, there shall be an order of interim stay of the demand raised by the AO pursuant to the order of assessment dated 14.03.2016, till the appeal filed by the assessee before the Tribunal is heard and disposed of on merits and in accordance with law.

  Reopening of assessment - Penalty u/s 271AAC - unexplained income u/s 69 (A) - petitioner, argues that the order passed is cryptic in nature as also the Officer has not assigned any reason for carrying out re-assessment in the case of the petitioner - HELD THAT:- We are of the considered view that all material facts necessary for adjudication were recorded and considered by the Officer and as such the order cannot be said to be in violation of principles of natural justice, even though it may be short in nature. Since disputed questions of fact are raised before us, we refrain from adjudicating the same, reserving liberty to the petitioner to prefer a statutory appeal which is an equally efficacious remedy. As such, present petition stands disposed of. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that limitation may not come in the way of adjudication of the appeal.
