The court granted the petitioner's challenge to INS-01, INS-02, and INS-03 orders, allowing for the release of seized goods and questioning the legality of the approval system. The respondent was given time to respond, with a hearing scheduled for December 2, 2021. Additionally, the court directed the respondent to consider the petitioner's application for goods release under Section 67(6) of the Delhi GST Act, emphasizing an unbiased decision separate from previous orders, to be issued by September 22, 2021, and promptly shared online and with the petitioner's counsel.
Issues: Challenge to INS-01, INS-02, INS-03, and related orders; Petition seeking release of seized goods and challenge to approval system legality.

Additionally, the petitioner sought a direction for the release and restoration of the goods seized from their premises unconditionally.

The respondent was granted three weeks to file a counter affidavit, with the petitioner allowed to file a rejoinder affidavit before the next hearing scheduled for 2nd December, 2021.

If the application was filed within the specified time, the respondent was directed to hear the petitioner's authorized representative on 17th September, 2021, and decide on it by way of a reasoned order in accordance with the law before 22nd September, 2021. It was emphasized that the respondent should decide on the petitioner's application under Section 67(6) without being influenced by the previous order dated 8th September, 2021.
