Transit-document compliance: post-detention invoices cannot validate garment movement, leaving the transporter exposed to owner-independent penalties.
Case-Laws
GST
Mandatory transit-documentation rules require invoices and e-way bills that correspond to goods physically carried at the time of movement. Invoices supplied only after detention, particularly without matching e-way bills, do not cure a movement unsupported by compliant records. Where no authentic, pre-existing ownership records identify the goods at interception, the transporter may be treated as a person other than the owner for penalty purposes. Undocumented garments may be valued using product quality, fabric specifications and prevailing wholesale-market averages where matching invoices are unavailable and buyers cannot be traced; such valuation must rest on objective and rational market indicators.
