Issues: Whether a transfer of property made after completion of the assessment for a particular year, but before attachment in recovery proceedings, was hit by section 33-A of the M.P. General Sales Tax Act, 1958.
Analysis: Section 33-A voids a transfer only when, during the pendency of proceedings under the Act, a dealer parts with assets with intent to defraud the Revenue, and the transfer is void only against tax or sum payable as a result of completion of those pending proceedings. The provision was construed strictly as a taxing statute, so its operation could not be extended beyond its clear language. On the facts, the assessment for the relevant period had already been completed and the demand had arisen before the sale. A subsequent demand notice did not amount to a pending proceeding within the meaning of the section, and the proviso also had no application.
Conclusion: The transfer was not hit by section 33-A and was not void against the Revenue.
Final Conclusion: The suit for declaration was maintainable and entitled to succeed, and the recovery proceedings could not be enforced against the transferred house.
Ratio Decidendi: A transfer is void under section 33-A only if it is made during the pendency of proceedings under the Act and against a tax liability that arises as a result of the completion of those pending proceedings.
