In our case, goods are transported against the tax invoice and e-way bill. However, such an invoice is not raised in accordance with Rule 48(4) on the date of interception. But immediately a day after the issuance of the detention & Seizure order, an e-invoice was raised properly. so, in this case, what will be the grounds one could take for the release of goods without payment of penalty under section 129?
Thanks in Advance.
