Issues: Whether the bank attachment made for recovery of tax demand during the pendency of the second appeal and stay application, without prior adjudication and hearing, was justified, and what consequential relief should follow.
Analysis: The petition was entertained only to the limited extent of examining the propriety of coercive recovery while the assessee had already invoked the second appellate remedy and a stay application was pending. The attachment was made under Section 44 of the Gujarat Value Added Tax Act, 2003 even though the appellate proceedings had not been decided and the assessee had not been given an effective opportunity before curtailing its rights. The circumstances called for the appellate authority to decide the stay request expeditiously and after granting due hearing. To balance the revenue interest and the assessee's statutory remedy, the matter was relegated to the appellate authority with time-bound directions.
Conclusion: The attachment was not quashed on merits, but the assessee obtained relief by way of a prompt hearing on the stay application and consequential suspension of the attachment if the authority failed to act within the stipulated time.
Final Conclusion: The proceeding ended with limited protective directions in aid of the pending statutory appeal, leaving the merits of the tax dispute open before the appellate authority.
