However, the Registrar by impugned communication dated 14th July 2009 asked the petitioner to produce no objection certificate from the income tax department and therefore the petitioner has submitted application on 10th December 2009 to the income tax department for grant of no objection certificate.

Learned counsel for the income tax department states that if the petitioner makes an application for obtaining information about the attachment proceedings and if the said information is available with the department and if it is permissible in law it shall be furnished to the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the application. 4.
