The High Court granted relief to the petitioner by directing the release of attachment over immovable properties due to discrepancies between GSTR 3B returns and auto-populated GSTR 2A. Despite making the requisite 10% pre-deposit of the disputed tax demand, the attachment was effected contrary to statutory provisions. The court held that once the pre-deposit is made u/s 107(7), recovery proceedings for the balance amount shall be deemed stayed. Consequently, the attachment of the petitioner's immovable properties was found unsustainable and ordered to be released.
