AP HC quashes excise recovery notice on auction buyer
In short
The Andhra Pradesh High Court quashed an excise recovery notice against an auction buyer of land and a building. The notice tried to recover the previous owner’s dues from the purchaser.
The court’s ruling protects the buyer from that recovery step and puts the secured creditor’s claim ahead of the central excise dues.
