The Madras High Court, in WP No. 18161 of 2025, addressed the petitioner's grievance that IGST paid via TR 6 Challan (Treasury Receipt) was not recognized by the respondents, leading to an adverse order. The Court noted the respondents' request for time to file a counter and granted an interim stay on recovery proceedings until the counter is filed and for two weeks thereafter. The petitioner must seek extension of the interim order beyond that period.
