Bogus GST transactions may justify registration cancellation even during return scrutiny, with disputed facts left to statutory remedies.
Case-Laws
GST
Allegations of bogus or paper transactions in the supply chain can support cancellation of GST registration even while return scrutiny is pending, because the two proceedings may run separately and the pendency of scrutiny creates no legal bar. Where the cancellation notice turns on disputed facts, writ jurisdiction is not the proper forum for fact-finding, and the controversy must be tested on evidence before the statutory authority. The High Court therefore declined interference under Article 226, found no adverse meaning could be attached merely to the reference to pending scrutiny, and left the assessee to pursue the statutory appeal on merits.
