The text examines provisional attachment under Section 83 and Rule 159(5), emphasising that attachment is a draconian revenue-protection power requiring formation of an opinion and due deliberation. It notes Rule 159(5) grants the attached person the right to file objections and to be heard, and that the Commissioner must pass a reasoned order accepting or rejecting objections.
