New Delhi:
The Delhi High Court Monday directed the Income Tax department to
defreeze the 11 bank accounts of Patanjali Yogpeeth Nyas, a trust
run by Baba Ramdev.
The IT Department had sealed the trust, after it failed to pay the
first instalment of Rs.75 lakh out of the total tax of Rs.34.68
crore.
A division bench of Justice Badar Durrez Ahmed and Justice R.V.
Easwar said in the order: "We direct the attachment order (of bank
accounts) be lifted subject to petitioner (Patanjali Yogpeeth Nyas)
paying Rs.2.10 crore (as Income Tax) by March 15."
The bench, refusing to stay the recovery proceedings, asked the
Income Tax Commissioner (Appeals) to decide the appeal of
Patanjali Yogpeeth by March 31 and disposed of the plea.
The court was hearing the plea filed by the trust challenging the
IT department's decision to freeze its 11 bank accounts on Jan 14
after it allegedly failed to pay Rs.75 lakh towards first
installment of total tax of Rs.34.68 crore due from it for
assessment year 2009-10.
Pleading that it is a charitable organisation and hence exempted
from income tax, the Patanjali Yogpeeth also sought a stay on
recovery proceedings initiated in pursuance of tax demand notice
of Rs.34.68 crore.
During a brief hearing, the counsel appearing for the trust told
the court that the "accounts have been attached without prior
intimation to the trust".
