Facts of the Case
The petitioner was engaged in developing medical technology, diagnostics and healthcare devices and it was providing various healthcare services across India. It ordered oxygen cylinders from China. The lorry in which the imported consignments were loaded was intercepted and the GST department levied penalty. It filed writ petition against the order levying penalty.
High Court Held
The Honorable High Court noted that the petitioner had earlier preferred a writ petition before this Court seeking provisional return of goods, wherein this court disposed the same. Thereafter, the department passed an order confirming the penalty as stipulated in the show-cause notices. The petitioner had already preferred appeal which was pending for disposal.
Therefore, in view of facts and circumstances, the Court disposed the petition and directed the department to dispose of appeal filed by the petitioner within a period of twelve (12) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after hearing the petitioner, in accordance with law.
