Assistant Commissioner Central Gst ... vs Mr. Pravin Charan Dwary Irp/Rp
- CitationComp. App. (AT) (Ins.) No. 614 of 2022
Ratio decidendi
The rule this decision rests on
The mere attachment of goods by a statutory authority before the initiation of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process does not, by itself, establish that the goods do not belong to the Corporate Debtor, and so does not remove them from the assets of the Corporate Debtor.

ORDER
(Through Virtual Mode)
06.07.2022: Heard Learned Counsel for the Appellant.
2. This Appeal has been filed against the order dated 08.03.2021 passed
by the Adjudicating Authority (National Company Law Tribunal), Ahmedabad
Bench, Court-1 on I.A 461 of 2019.
3. Learned Counsel for the Appellant submits that I.A 461 of 2019 was
filed by the Appellant Department praying that the goods attached on
01.02.2018 be not included in the assets of the Corporate Debtor since the
Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process was initiated subsequently. It was
also prayed by the Appellant that they be allowed to auction the seized goods
by the Excise Department. Both the Applications have been rejected by the
impugned order.

4. The mere fact that the goods were attached cannot mean that the goods
do not belong to the Corporate Debtor and we do not find any infirmity in the
order of the Adjudicating Authority rejecting the Application filed by the
Department. There is no merit in the Appeal. The Appeal is dismissed.
