Tax Dispute Relief: Partial Stay Granted with 20% Deposit and Conditional Bank Account Release
HC granted partial relief in tax dispute due to non-constitution of Appellate Tribunal. Petitioner must deposit 20% of disputed tax amount to obtain stay of recovery. Court directed authorities to release bank account attachments upon compliance and emphasized that appeal must be filed within specified period after Tribunal's constitution. Writ petition disposed with conditional relief.
Issues involved: Non-constitution of the Appellate Tribunal under the Bihar Goods and Services Tax Act leading to deprivation of statutory remedy for appeal and stay of recovery of tax amount.
Judgment Details:
