The HC held that the provisional attachment of two of the petitioner's bank accounts under Section 83(1) of the CGST Act had exceeded the statutory one-year limit prescribed in Section 83(2), read with Rule 159 of the CGST Rules. As the attachments, effected via Form GST DRC-22 dated 11.11.2024, had "outlived" the permissible duration, they could not legally subsist thereafter. Noting that counsel for the revenue could not confirm lifting of the attachments post-expiry, the HC declared that such provisional attachment cannot continue beyond one year and accordingly set aside the attachments of the two accounts. The writ petition was allowed in part.
