Issues: Whether, on a sale of property acquired and auctioned by the Appropriate Authority under Chapter XXC of the Income-tax Act, 1961, liability to pay unearned incremental charges demanded by the State as lessor fell on the auction purchasers or on the Appropriate Authority.
Analysis: The auction conditions required the purchaser to bear all expenses for conveyance and to pay all outstandings pertaining to the property. The sale was on an "as is where is" basis, and outstandings not known to the Department at the time of auction were to be borne by the purchaser. The demand for unearned incremental charges arose after the auction sale and was not a liability that attached to the Department by reason of the earlier vesting. The vesting under Chapter XXC, in the circumstances of the case, was free of the original assignor's obligations, and the State's demand was a post-auction liability covered by the auction terms.
Conclusion: The liability to pay the unearned incremental charges was that of the auction purchasers, not the Appropriate Authority; the challenge to the demand failed.
Ratio Decidendi: Where auction terms require the purchaser to bear all outstandings and the sale is on an "as is where is" basis, a post-auction demand not known to the Department at the time of sale is recoverable from the auction purchaser and not from the acquiring authority.
