High Court Limits Bank Account Withdrawals Pending Decision
The High Court directed respondent No.1 to decide on the stay application within 10 days, prohibiting further withdrawals from the bank accounts until then. Any withdrawals made were made subject to the final order. The attachment of bank accounts was also subject to the outcome of the order. The petitioner was allowed to request early appeal hearing and stay of demand from respondent No. 4, with adverse decisions by respondent No.1 not to be enforced for two weeks. The judgment clarified that no opinion on merit was expressed, and the writ petition was disposed of.
Issues Involved: Petition seeking direction to respondents regarding recovery of demand and release of bank accounts.
Analysis: The petitioner, a partnership firm assessed under income tax jurisdiction, filed a petition under Articles 226/227 seeking relief from coercive recovery steps and release of three bank accounts. The petitioner's income sources include interest from fixed deposits, dividends, and profits from share sales. For the 2017-18 assessment year, the Assessing Officer added an amount under Section 68 of the Income Tax Act as unexplained credit, resulting in a substantial increase in assessed income. A notice of demand was issued for the additional amount. The petitioner applied for a stay of demand and appealed the assessment order. The grievance was that the bank accounts were attached without deciding on the stay application, leading to withdrawals prejudicial to the petitioner, prompting the writ petition.
