AI SummaryPartly Allowed

Held

The Court directed the refund of the excess amount recovered from the petitioner's e-ledger, limiting the revenue's retention to a maximum of 20% of the disputed tax, following a previous High Court order.

Facts

The petitioner filed an appeal against a tax demand order and deposited 10% of the demand, with the balance stayed. Despite the stay, the revenue recovered the balance from the petitioner's e-ledger. The first appellate authority's order is also impugned as the Tribunal is not constituted.

Key Issues

Whether the revenue can recover the balance tax demand when an appeal is pending and the Tribunal is not constituted? What is the extent of pre-deposit required in the absence of a functional Tribunal?
