Case-Laws
GST
HC held that confiscatory proceedings under the GST enactment cannot be invoked where the sole basis is excess stock found during survey. Because the impugned orders fastened tax liability and imposed penalty on that foundation alone, they were beyond the jurisdiction conferred by law and contrary to the settled legal position. The Court therefore set aside the orders and allowed the writ petition.
