The provisional attachment order ceased to have effect after the expiry of one year from the date of an order made under Section 83(1) of the CGST Act, 2017. Therefore, the impugned order dated 22 March 2024 has ceased to have effect post 21 March 2025. In identical circumstances, this Court, in the case of Ashok Kumar Vs Union of India & Ors [2025 (7) TMI 398 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT] had declared and quashed the provisional attachment order by relying on the provisions of Section 83(2) of the CGST Act, 2017.

Sonak, J., allowed the Petition challenging the provisional attachment of the Petitioner's bank account under Section 83(2) of the CGST Act, 2017. The Court held that 'the order of provisional attachment made under Section 83(1) shall cease to have effect after the period of one year.' Since more than one year had elapsed from the impugned order dated 22 March 2024, it 'ceased to have effect post 21 March 2025.' Citing the precedent in Ashok Kumar Vs Union of India & Ors, the Court quashed and set aside the provisional attachment order. The Respondents were directed to notify the bank to release/de-freeze the Petitioner's account within one week upon production of an authenticated copy of the order. The Rule was made absolute with no order as to costs.
