Directed the assessee to approach the appellate authority w.r.t. order detaining Teak Sawn Timber


Quick Summary
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that an assessee must first approach the State Tax Authority to challenge an order detaining goods, rather than directly appealing to the High Court. The court directed the appellant to seek revocation of the detention order for teak sawn timber by addressing the allegations made by the authority. The assessee was also advised to provide tarpaulin to protect the goods from weather damage while the process is ongoing.
