This writ petition challenges an Order-in-Original dated 2020-07-27 issued by the Additional Director General (Adjudication), Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). The petitioner is aggrieved because a demand was imposed despite the approval of a resolution plan by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Delhi Bench. The demand, as adjudicated by the impugned order, amounts to Rs. 23.53 crores, in addition to penalty and interest. The petitioner contends that the demand is extinguished due to the approved resolution plan, citing the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The respondent argues that an alternate remedy (appeal) is available, making the writ petition inappropriate.
