Case-Laws
GST
The HC allowed the petition and quashed the impugned detention orders, holding that detention of goods was unsustainable where the goods, moving under a commercial agreement with a government entity, were accompanied by a genuine tax invoice and an e-way bill that expired due to a vehicular breakdown; a fresh e-way bill was generated prior to the issuance of an order under s.129(3) of the GST Act. The court found no evidence of mens rea to evade tax, and held that mere expiry of an e-way bill, in the context of an unexplained mechanical delay and prompt re-generation of the document, cannot be equated with intent to evade tax.

Challenge to GST registration cancellation dismissed, but tax authority must provide particulars and penalty details for restoration
Case-Laws
GST
The HC dismissed the challenge to the cancellation of the applicant's GST registration for default in filing returns and non-response to the show-cause notice, but granted limited relief. The court directed Respondent No. 3 (Superintendent of Taxes) to furnish the applicant with particulars of all outstanding statutory dues attributable to the applicant's trade till the date of cancellation, and to specify any penalty or fine exigible as at the date of any restoration of registration, thereby enabling discharge of liabilities under the CGST regime. The order preserves tax liability despite cancellation and facilitates quantification and payment; the writ petition stands disposed.
