Balasubramani Ponnudurai Vs ITO (Madras High Court)
The case of Balasubramani Ponnudurai vs. Income Tax Officer (ITO) recently came before the Madras High Court regarding a bank attachment notice issued due to alleged PAN fraud. This article delves into the details of the judgment and its implications.
The petitioner challenged a bank attachment notice dated 18.01.2024, following an assessment order from 29.12.2019, asserting fraudulent linking of their PAN to an SBI account. Notably, the RBI acknowledged this linkage during the 2016-17 financial year. The petitioner sought intervention against the attachment notice.
While the appellant urged expeditious disposal of the appeal, Dr. B. Ramaswamy, representing respondents 1 and 5, contended that interference wasn’t warranted due to the pending statutory appeal.
The court reviewed the documents, noting the assessment order’s issuance by the first respondent and the ongoing appeal before the fifth respondent. Given the pending statutory appeal, the court advised the petitioner to seek any interim relief through the appellate authority.
