HC lifts provisional attachment of bank account as petitioner made adhoc GST payments pending investigation

Mutharamman Iron and Steels Vs The Principal Additional Director General (Madras High Court)

This writ petition has been filed challenging the provisional attachment of bank account of the petitioner pending proceedings for investigation.

2. I had, when the matter has come up for admission on 07.01.2021, stated at paragraph-3 as follows:

‘3. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the since all the bank accounts of the petitioner have been attached, the petitioners’ business has been entirely crippled. It would suffice that some bank accounts, sufficient to protect the interest of the revenue, remain under attachment, whereas the remaining may be released to enable conduct of business. Let the petitioner appear before the respondent with its request in this regard and orders be passed within a week from date of its appearance.’
