Withholding of refund - seeking release of refund - Legislature was conscious of the fact that the power conferred to withhold refund in Section 21 is akin to exercising power to stay the money decree and thus, an option was given that the refund can be directed to be made on furnishing of security as the objective is to affect the recovery only. It goes without saying that any order passed to withhold the refund is prejudicial to the interest of assessee. - Noting on file cannot be a substitute to an order required to be passed under the provisions of Section 21. Further impugned order Annexure P-10 is bereft of any reasoning. It is trite that mere reproduction of the words of statute cannot be construed as substitute for the reasons that an authority exercising statutory power is required to record. - HC
