Mr.S.Kanmani Annamalai, learned Additional Government Pleader (Tax) takes notice for the first respondent and by consent of the parties, the main writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. Since the second respondent is a formal party, notice to him is dispensed with.
2. The petitioner is aggrieved by the attachment order dated 11.08.2016, attaching the bank account of the petitioner maintained with the second respondent, on the allegation that the petitioner is in arrears of sales tax of Rs.12,34,357/- for the assessment years 2006-2007 to 2010-2011.
3. Heard both sides.
4. The grievance of the petitioner is that after passing the original assessment, the petitioner subsequently filed relevant forms before the Assessing Officer, who inturn, after considering those forms, even though has passed the revised order of assessment, has however, failed to lift the attachment order. It is also stated that the Commissioner of Commercial Tax through communication dated 02.03.2017 instructed the Assessing Officer concerned to verify the relevant records and take further action as per law based on the representation received from the petitioner dated 19.01.2017 seeking for lifting of attachment. Therefore, it is contended that once the Assessing Officer has chosen to pass the revised order of assessment, he should also consider the lifting of the attachment as requested by the petitioner.
5. It is seen that the petitioner has made such request on 19.01.2017 and such request is said to be not considered by the Assessing Officer viz., the first respondent till this date. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of, by directing the first respondent to consider the said request of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. No costs.
