GST-detected detained goods: provisional release pending adjudication allowed with ?4 lakh deposit and bank guarantee for remaining demand
The dominant issue was whether goods detained under GST proceedings could be released pending adjudication upon partial cash deposit and security for the balance demand of tax, penalty and fine. Exercising writ jurisdiction to balance revenue protection with avoidance of undue hardship, the HC held that provisional release was permissible on furnishing adequate safeguards. The petitioner was directed to deposit Rs. 4 lakh in cash and furnish a bank guarantee for the remaining amount comprised in the total demand of Rs. 19,42,692 reflected in the relevant detention order, whereupon the authorities were directed to provisionally release the goods within 10 days; the petition was disposed of accordingly.
Issues Involved: The judgment addresses the delay in filing a review petition, recalling an order related to goods release, and directing the petitioner to deposit a certain amount for the release of goods.
Delay in Filing Review Petition: The court allowed the application, condoning a delay of 69 days in filing the review petition/application.
Recalling Order Related to Goods Release: The order dated 10.04.2023, regarding the release of goods, was recalled as the goods had not been released and the State counsel sought further instructions.
Direction to Deposit Amount for Goods Release: The petitioner was directed to deposit Rs.4 Lacs in cash and provide a bank guarantee for the remaining penalty amount out of Rs.19,42,692/-, with the provision for the goods to be released to the petitioner within 10 days.
Legal Terminology and Phrases: The court directed the respondents to accept Rs.4 Lacs in cash pursuant to the GST MOV-10, where the total tax, penalty, and fine amounted to Rs.19,42,692/-. The writ petition was disposed of with liberty given to the petitioner to file an appeal against MOV-10, Annexure P-4, in accordance with the law if advised.
