Maintainability of challenge to attachment order failed where the adjudication order itself was not appealed, and stay relief was refused.

An appeal directed against an attachment order, rather than the underlying adjudication order, was held not to justify appellate interference. The Tribunal found no merit in the challenge because the appellant had not attacked the order determining liability, but only the recovery attachment issued for Government dues. On that basis, the request for waiver of pre-deposit and stay relief was declined, and the appeal was dismissed along with the stay petition. The impugned recovery proceedings were left undisturbed.

Issues: Maintainability of the appeal and entitlement to waiver of pre-deposit where the appeal was directed against an attachment order and not the adjudication order.

Analysis: The appeal was held to be without merit because the challenge was not directed against the adjudication order but against the order of attachment issued for recovery of Government dues. In these circumstances, the appellate forum found no basis to interfere or grant the requested stay relief.

Conclusion: The appeal was dismissed, and the stay petition was also dismissed.

Final Conclusion: The Tribunal refused to entertain the challenge and declined interim relief, leaving the impugned proceedings undisturbed.
