Allahabad High Court-Lucknow Bench Case :- MISC. BENCH No. - 8153 of 2015
Petitioner :- Smt. Lalli Bajpai & 3 Others
Counsel for Petitioner :- Rohit Nandan Shukla
Hon'ble Shri Narayan Shukla,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the respondents. "I. .... II. The amount lying in PD A/c should be released within one month of passing of the assessment order after adjusting the seized cash against any existing liability and the amount of liability determined on completion of search assessment and in case penalty proceedings are initiated, retaining an amount to meet the expected liability on account of penalty imposable."
Without being prejudiced to the aforesaid Instructions, we are of the view that once the provisions of Income Tax Act provide to release the balance assets/amount after satisfying the liability, there is no occasion for the respondents to retain the same under the executive Instructions. Therefore, at this stage, we feel it appropriate to issue direction to the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (Central Circle), Lucknow to take decision on the petitioners' representation within fifteen days from the date of communication of this order.
Anupam S/- (Akhtar Husain Khan,J.) (Shri Narayan Shukla,J.)
