After the petitioner's tax liability for alleged unexplained jewellery stood fully and finally settled upon issuance of Form-5 under the Vivad se Vishwas Scheme, the department lacked statutory authority to continue detaining jewellery seized during a search. Detention on the ground that a joint locker-holder had an outstanding demand was held contrary to the CIT(A)'s findings on ownership and inconsistent with the scheme's finality, rendering the refusal illegal and perverse.
