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.

In his address, Chairman, NTWB, Shri Sunil J. Singhi, appreciated the recently implemented Next-Gen GST Reforms, which came into effect on 22nd September 2025.

The Chairman noted that the new GST reforms will make a wide range of essential and consumer items more affordable. Small car buyers could save around Rs.70,000, while reductions in GST on stationery, clothing, footw

HC ordered that the petitioner's refund application be processed and the refundable balance paid with statutory interest within two months. The court noted that an initial refund of Rs.7,71,000 had previously been appropriated/adjusted against outstanding liabilities of Rs.10,71,941 pursuant to an earlier order dated 18 Sept 2023, and that a demand of Rs.12,10,668 was subsequently cancelled and communicated to the GST Commissionerate, Palam. Having considered submissions that the refundable amount is payable to the petitioner, the HC directed the revenue to disburse the refund in accordance with law and disposed of the petition.

Demand and determination under Section 93 CGST invalid when issued solely against deceased without notice to legal representative
Case-Laws
GST
The HC held that a demand and determination under Section 93 of the CGST Act cannot validly be made against a deceased person; the provision contemplates liability of a legal representative where the business continues or is discontinued, and mandates issuance of notice and opportunity to the legal representative before determination and recovery. The impugned show-cause and assessment issued solely against the deceased, without serving or seeking responses from the legal representative, is procedurally and legally invalid. Consequently the HC quashed and set aside the determination and recovery orders and allowed the petition against the respondent.

The HC dismissed the writ appeals and upheld the learned Single Judge's disposition allowing the writ petitions to the extent of relegating the petitioners to the post show-cause notice stage. The Court declined to adjudicate merits on liability or exemption under service tax, deeming such issues premature and fact-intensive, and found no jurisdictional error warranting interference with the show cause notices. In certain matters the Court set aside impugned orders-in-original and restored proceedings to the stage of post show-cause notice, granting petitioners liberty to file reply and additional reply as appropriate. The appeals are rejected and the administrative adjudicatory process is remitted for fresh consideration.

GST
The HC held that Rule 86-A of the CGST Rules cannot be construed to effectuate “negative blocking” of Input Tax Credit by precluding credits that were not present in the petitioner's Electronic Credit Ledger on the date the satisfaction and blocking order were recorded. Applying a literal construction of the taxing statute, the court found no ambiguity permitting the blocking of prospective or subsequently accruing ITC and concluded such an interpretation would exceed the rule-making power and contradict the rule framers' intent. The impugned blocking notice was quashed and set aside; the petition succeeded and the application was disposed of.

HC allowed the petition, set aside the cancellation order and the appellate dismissal, and directed the petitioner to comply with Rule 10A by adding bank details on the GST portal. Upon such compliance the revenue authority is to consider revocation of registration. The court held that an opportunity of hearing was afforded and that the cancellation resulted from a procedural default attributable to the petitioner's chartered accountant, but reinstatement into the tax regime served the public interest. The petitioner was ordered to pay costs of Rs.50,000 to the department, payable along with any pending GST returns. The petition is allowed.

The petitioner's rectification application was rejected and the appeal instituted thereafter did not attract any stay; in the absence of any interlocutory relief the post-assessment recovery was held neither perverse nor illegal.

The HC allowed the petition, setting aside the impugned order dated 09.09.2024, and directed respondents to refund the contested amount with statutory interest at 6% per annum from the date the order of the First Authority became operative, on the ground that the refund was not made within 60 days of that order. The court rejected respondents' plea to attract the higher 9% rate, noting petitioners sought only 6% and that the Appellate Authority had quashed the original rejection dated 14.09.2020. The HC held the rejection to be unlawful and confirmed entitlement to the specified interest on the delayed refund.

The HC allowed the writ petition in part and remitted the matter to the original authority (respondent No.2) for fresh adjudication. The court held that the Appellate Authority, under s.107(11), lacked jurisdiction to remit proceedings and could only allow or dismiss the appeal; accordingly the petitioner's production of documents before the Appellate Authority could not substitute for assessment by the original authority. The matter concerns short declaration of tax liability on inverted supplies in GST returns filed in July for FY 2017-18 amid teething issues in the regime. Respondent No.2 is directed to consider the documents tendered, reassess the petitioner's claim and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.

The HC set aside the impugned order dated 30.06.2025, holding it to be a non-speaking order that violated principles of natural justice by failing to address the petitioner's explanations and objections.

The first respondent/revenue is directed to issue requisite notice, afford an opportunity of hearing, reconsider the matter, and redo the assessment by passing a speaking order addressing the objections, input tax credit and stock variation issues. The petition is disposed of subject to compliance with these directions.
