Petitioners Secure Interim Relief: Provisional Bank Account Attachment Challenged with Document Access and Time-Bound Seizure
HC allowed early hearing of petitioners' application challenging provisional attachment of bank accounts. Court directed Commissioner to permit copies of seized documents and retain physical items only for necessary period, not exceeding 30 days. Respondents were instructed to file counter-affidavit regarding Rs. 22,00,000 deposit claim before next hearing on 20.08.2024.
Issues: 1. Early hearing application filed by petitioners. 2. Challenge to orders provisionally attaching bank accounts. 3. Request for return of seized assets and refund of coerced deposit.
Analysis: 1. The petitioners filed an application seeking early hearing of the petition, which was allowed by the court for hearing. 2. The petition challenged orders dated 20.11.2023, where the Commissioner provisionally attached bank accounts of the petitioners and their Directors. The court previously allowed limited operations of the bank accounts to maintain the company as a going concern. The Commissioner justified the freezing of the accounts in a speaking order dated 16.04.2024. The petitioners did not press for relief regarding the freezing of bank accounts at this stage. 3. The petitioners also sought the return of seized assets, including laptops, CPUs, and mobile phones. The court noted that the petitioners are entitled to copies of seized documents under the CGST Act and directed the Commissioner to allow the petitioners to obtain copies of the seized assets. The Commissioner was instructed to retain the seized items only until required, not exceeding 30 days, and to ensure that copies of the data are made available to the petitioners. There was a concern raised by the petitioners regarding the withholding of data recorded on devices, which the court requested the Commissioner to examine. 4. The third issue involved the petitioners' claim for a refund of Rs. 22,00,000, which they alleged was coerced during a search and seizure raid. The petitioners cited previous court decisions in support of their contention that the amounts deposited should be returned. The respondents contested this claim, but the counter-affidavit from the respondents was not on record. The court directed the respondents to ensure the affidavit is placed on record before the next hearing scheduled for 20.08.2024.
