Judgment Summary:
Issue 1: Common questions of facts in multiple writ petitions The judgment disposed of four writ petitions filed by the same petitioner challenging the interception proceedings and subsequent actions by the respondents. The petitioner, as the consignor, contested the interception of conveyance and issuance of show cause notice regarding tax liability. The petitioner approached the court claiming that the goods were seized from the consignee's premises. An interim order was passed staying further actions. The core argument raised was regarding the jurisdiction of authorities as the goods were not in transit. The State argued that only the notice was challenged, citing a relevant judgment. The court emphasized that the petitioner must address the show cause notice validity and explain the transactions, as it is not the court's role to act as the Assessing Authority.
Issue 2: Alternative remedy and disposal of writ petitions The court acknowledged that the petitioner has an alternative remedy to present their case before the authorities and directed them to proceed in accordance with the law. Consequently, the writ petitions were disposed of with liberty to the petitioner. All interim orders were vacated as a result of the judgment.
