Garnishee Proceedings Valid When No Appeal Filed Against Original Adjudication Order for Recovery of Demand
HC dismissed the writ petition challenging garnishee proceedings initiated to recover demand based on an adjudication order. The court held that since petitioner had not filed any appeal against the original adjudication order, the officer was duty-bound to take steps for realizing the demand. The court emphasized that assessment orders cannot be disregarded unless relief is granted by a higher authority through proper appeal channels, making the garnishee proceedings justified.
Issues involved: Recovery of demand through garnishee proceeding based on an adjudication order dated 24th May, 2019 without filing an appeal against the order.
Analysis: The High Court of Calcutta, in this case, dealt with a writ petition filed against the recovery of demand through garnishee proceeding arising from an adjudication order dated 24th May, 2019. The court noted that the petitioner had not filed any appeal against the impugned adjudication order, which led to the initiation of the garnishee proceeding for recovery. The court emphasized that it is the duty of the officer to take steps for the realization of the demand once assessment orders are passed and demands are raised. The court highlighted that the assessment order and demand cannot be disregarded, and unless relief is granted by a higher authority through an appeal, the officer is obligated to ensure the realization of the demand. Additionally, the court pointed out that the adjudication order in question is appealable, and since the petitioner had not availed any remedy by filing an appeal, the officer was justified in initiating the garnishee proceeding for the recovery of the demand.
In conclusion, considering the facts, circumstances, submissions of the parties, and the available records, the High Court dismissed the writ petition (WPA 14620 of 2022). The judgment underscores the statutory duty of the officer to take necessary steps for the realization of demands arising from adjudication orders when no appeal has been filed by the concerned party.
