Where, during the pendency of any proceeding relating to assessment, re-assessment or recovery of any tax, interest or penalty payable under this Act or the Bihar Finance Act, 1981, as it stood by its repeal by section 94, any person or dealer creates a charge on or parts with the possession, by any mode of transfer whatsoever including sale, mortgage, gift or exchange, of any of his assets in favor of any person with the intention of defrauding the revenue, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Act or contract, such charge or transfer shall be void as against any claim in respect of any tax or any other sum payable by the dealer as a result of the completion of such proceeding or otherwise.
