The Court initially allowed the petitioner to release the goods by furnishing a bank guarantee. The petitioner's counsel now seeks a direction for the pending proceedings under Section 129 of the CGST Act to be concluded promptly. The counsel argues that the GSTIN number was correct as per Ext. P1(a) and that the e-way bill was not generated due to the unpreparedness of the official machinery at the time of transport.2. The learned counsel highlighted that the GSTIN number was accurately mentioned and that the absence of an e-way bill was due to the unavailability of the system for generating it. The Court acknowledged that the Assistant State Tax Officer was already addressing the issue and refrained from commenting on the merits. However, the Court directed the officer to consider the petitioner's submissions when evaluating the request under Section 129 of the CGST Act. Ultimately, the Court disposed of the writ petition with these observations, emphasizing the importance of the petitioner's contentions in the pending proceedings.
