Issues:
1. Writ petition seeking quashing of actions by respondent to stop goods and conveyance.
2. Request for interim relief for release of goods and conveyance.
3. Seeking any other appropriate order or relief.

Analysis:
1. The High Court heard multiple writ applications with similar issues and disposed of them together. The lead matter was Special Civil Application No.7046 of 2020. The writ applicant sought a writ of mandamus to quash the respondent's actions of stopping goods and conveyance, declaring them illegal and violative of natural justice and relevant laws.

2. The court heard arguments from the counsel for the writ applicant and the Government Pleader. It noted that the authority had already issued an order for the confiscation of goods and conveyance. Consequently, the court declined to intervene and advised the writ applicant to file a statutory appeal under Section 107 of the GST Act before the appellate authority. The court further allowed the writ applicant to seek provisional release of goods by filing an application under Section 67(6) of the Act, subject to certain conditions.

3. In conclusion, the High Court disposed of all three writ applications with directions for the writ applicant to pursue statutory remedies through appeal and application for provisional release of goods. The court emphasized compliance with the law and set a timeline for the concerned authority to process any such applications promptly.
