    <title>Scheme of demerger and attachment of vested assets: court bars attachment for demerged company&#039;s tax, allows action for resulting company&#039;s liability</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=96702</link>
    <description>A sanctioned scheme of demerger vests specified assets in the resulting companies; those vested assets cannot be attached to satisfy the tax liability of the demerged transferor. The attachment impugned was held unsustainable as it targeted property vested in a resulting company, but the tax authority remains competent to attach those vested assets independently to recover the resulting company&#039;s own Wealth Tax liability. The petitioner is protected from penal consequences while statutory appeals filed under the Wealth Tax Act remain pending. Writ petition partly allowed with liberty as stated.</description>
