16.8.2017, in which it has been provided that the G.S.T. being the new law, therefore, it may take some time for proper implementation of the scheme of E-Way Bill on all India basis. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed the provision of Rule 138 of U.P. G.S.T. Rules which provides for the old E-Way Bill scheme, which was in effect earlier, may be continued. We have gone through the contents of the aforesaid circular and after hearing the parties at length we find that certain factual disputes are involved in the present case. At the time of detention, the detaining authority has clearly mentioned in the detention memo that the necessary physical verification is required as the E-Way Bill, which was produced, was not relevant as the date and time mentioned have already expired. We find that on physical verification, the authority has found certain irregularities with regard to quality of the goods as well as quantity. It is further noticed that the goods which were covered with

The appellate authority is directed not to insist for deposit of any penalty amount for hearing and admission of the appeal.
