Court Orders Tax Quantification for Goods Release, Petitioner Given Liberty to Adjudicate Compounding Fee
The court directed the 2nd respondent to quantify the tax to be paid by the petitioner for the release of goods within a week. Upon payment, non-prohibitory goods were to be released immediately, with the petitioner given liberty to adjudicate the compounding fee later. The writ petition was disposed of with these directions, and no costs were awarded.
Issues: Challenge to Goods Detention Notice under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
Analysis: The petitioner, a registered dealer, challenged a Goods Detention Notice and a corrected Notice as illegal and against the provisions of the Act. The petitioner had placed an indent for Pan Masala and the goods were supplied with valid documents. However, the vehicle was stopped for verification by the 2nd respondent, who issued a Goods Detention Notice and later a corrected notice, citing issues with the E-Sugam Forms. The petitioner contended that the detention was illegal as all valid documents were provided for an interstate purchase. The petitioner sought the release of goods.
The counsel for the petitioner argued that the 2nd respondent failed to follow the provision for release of goods on payment of tax and detained the goods without valid reasons. The delay in releasing the goods was causing harm to the consignee's business. The petitioner expressed willingness to pay the tax and requested the release of goods, with the compounding fee to be adjudicated later.
The Additional Government Pleader submitted that the 2nd respondent should quantify the tax to be paid by the petitioner for the release of goods. The Court considered the submissions and directed the 2nd respondent to quantify the tax to be paid within a week in consultation with the assessing authority. Upon payment by the petitioner, non-prohibitory goods were to be released immediately. The petitioner was given the liberty to adjudicate the compounding fee as per the law. The writ petition was disposed of with these directions, and no costs were awarded.
