<h1>Earlier bench ruling upholds constitutionality of Sections 69 and 70; arrest powers under Customs Act and CGST Act affirmed</h1> SC disposed the petition, holding that the earlier bench decision affirming the constitutional validity of Sections 69 and 70 of the GST enactments ... Power to arrest under the Customs Act, 1962 and the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 - reasons to believe - non-cognizable offences - Jurisdictionary powers of judicial review under Article 32 and Article 226 of the Constitution of India - HELD THAT:- The present petition is disposed of in terms of the judgment rendered by this Court in the case of Radhika Agarwal vs. Union of India [2025 (2) TMI 1162 - SUPREME COURT (LB)] where it was held that 'The constitutional validity of Sections 69 and 70 of the GST Acts is upheld, affirming the legislative competence to enact such provisions.' Petition disposed off. The petition is disposed of by reference to the precedent 'Radhika Agarwal vs. Union of India' (Writ Petition (Crl.) No. 336/2018) reported in 2025 (6) SCC 545, effectively adopting that Court's legal conclusions and reliefs. The order does not set out independent legal reasoning but effectuates the earlier judgment's mandate, thereby applying the ratio decidendi and holdings of the cited authority to the present proceedings. The record indicates no appearance for the respondent. All pending application(s), if any, are expressly disposed of. The disposition operates as a final adjudication on the petition, contingent on the terms and operative directions contained in the referenced decision, and imports the cited judgment's legal consequences into the present case.
