Facts of the Case

The department detained goods of petitioner on the ground that correct documents were not travelling with the truck.

Therefore, the petitioner filed writ petition against the detention order.

High Court Held

The Honorable High Court noted that the order in Form GST MOV -06 being the detention order stated that no documents had been produced to indicate how the petitioner purchased the said goods which were being sold to another party. The Court further noted that in the instant case, the documents annexed to the writ petition clearly showed chain of transactions from manufacturer to petitioner to consignee. The goods were sold by the Steel Authority of India Ltd. to Balaji Enterprises and subsequently, Balaji Enterprises sold the goods to petitioner.
