Facts of the Case
The Competent Authority seized goods of assessee under transport as well as vehicle. Thereafter, final order in Form GST MOV-11 confiscating goods and vehicle was passed. The assessee filed writ petition against the order of confiscation and the revenue submitted that the Court should not entertain writ application.
High Court Held
The Honorable High Court held that the Court should not entertain writ application as entire evidence would have to be looked into which had come on record. However, the assessee was to be relegated to prefer an appeal before Appellate Authority and, if appeal was filed, Appellate Authority should look into same and decide it in accordance with law. If Appellate Authority would deem fit, it might provisionally release goods and vehicle subject to terms and conditions fixed by it.
