Attachment of property of the partnership firm - Recovery of Service post GST era - The High Court observed that, as regards taxes which had not been recovered, it enables initiation of action for recovery thereof under Section 142 of the CGST Act. Therefore, it was open to the first and second respondents to initiate action under the CGST Act if tax dues had not been recovered under the provisions of the Finance Act 1994. Instead, the petitioner resorted to Section 142 of the Customs Act. Section 142(1) of the Customs Act - the impugned attachment order is quashed by leaving it open to the first and second respondents to initiate appropriate proceedings in accordance with the CGST Act for the recovery of service tax dues.
