Transporter directed to appeal penalties to Appellate Authority within 3 weeks to preserve time spent in High Court.
The High Court directed the transporter, whose goods were intercepted without an e-way bill and faced penalties, to approach the newly notified Appellate Authority within three weeks. Compliance within the given period would consider the time spent before the High Court, allowing the appeal to be treated as filed within the stipulated time. The Court concluded the writ application by instructing the petitioner to pursue the appeal process before the Appellate Authority.
Issues: Interception of goods during transportation without proper e-way bill, imposition of penalty under relevant tax laws, absence of notified Appellate Authority for appeals.
Interception without E-way Bill: The petitioner, a transporter, had their truck intercepted in Jharkhand while transporting goods from Delhi to Orissa on 9.4.2018. The petitioner claimed that the e-way bill requirement for inter-State transportation was introduced on 1.4.2018, and the consignment was transported from Delhi on 6.4.2018, before being intercepted. Subsequently, the vehicle and goods were seized, and a penalty was imposed under Section 129 of the Jharkhand Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, and Section 20 of the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.
Absence of Notified Appellate Authority: At the time of the incident and penalty imposition, no Appellate Authority had been notified by the State Government. However, it was mentioned that the Appellate Authority was notified by the State Government on 31st July 2018, to be the Joint Commissioner (Appeals), State Tax. Due to this absence of the Appellate Authority during the relevant time, the petitioner directly approached the High Court through a writ application.
Judgment and Disposition: The High Court disposed of the writ application directing the petitioner to move before the newly notified Appellate Authority within three weeks. It was specified that if the petitioner complies within the given period, the time spent before the High Court would be considered, treating the appeal filed before the Appellate Authority as within the stipulated time. Consequently, the writ application was concluded with the mentioned direction for the petitioner to pursue the appeal process before the Appellate Authority.
