, J. (ORAL)

On the last date of hearing, following order was passed:- “Learned counsel for respondent No.1-UOI prays for a short adjournment to seek instructions with regard to the assertion as has been made by the petitioner that its account was attached provisionally on 13.08.2019 which could continue only upto 12.08.2020 in the light of Section 83(2) of the Central Goods and Service Tax Act which limits the operation of such order of provisional attachment for one year.” In pursuance thereof, short written statement on behalf of respondent Nos.1 to 3 dated 15.02.2021 has been received through mail, RAKESH KHURMI 2021.02.15 15:27 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

CWP-2962-2021 :{ 2 }: which is taken on record. The factual assertion, as has been pointed out by the petitioner with regard to more than one year having been passed of provisional attachment order, has not been disputed. However, it has been asserted that the evidence has been collected to the effect that the input tax credit has wrongly been availed of by the petitioner. Be that as it may, the fact remains that the requirement of the statute as provided for under Section 83(2) of the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, which limits the operation of order of provisional attachment for one year having elapsed, the competent authority is required to pass an order, withdrawing the provisional attachment as ordered on 13.08.2019 (Annexure P-1). Liberty shall, however, be available to the respondents to proceed against the petitioner as permissible in law. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly.

( AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH )
