Facts of the Case
The petitioner was a registered transporter. The vehicle of petitioner was intercepted and penalty was imposed on petitioner as class of vehicle was wrongly mentioned as ‘ODC’ instead of normal vehicle on E-way bill. It filed writ petition against the demand order before the High Court and contended that no wrong consignment was detected except said description of class of vehicle.
The department submitted that the vehicle involved was a normal vehicle but in the E-Way Bill, it was wrongly stated as an ‘ODC’ vehicle. The same was done to avail the benefit of ‘ODC’ vehicle.
