Practice of the Dept of collecting undated cheques from taxpayers after search illegal

In Digipro Import & Export Pvt. Ltd vs. UOI, the Delhi High Court condemned the llegal practice of the Dept of collecting undated cheques from taxpayers after search/ survey without even quantifying the extent of duty evasion. The court said that attempt of the unscrupulous officers is to 'negotiate' the evaded duty by threats and coercion. It is not rule of law but anarchy unleashed by holders of public office. It is an abuse of law which has to be stopped.
