Refund under GST can be withheld only when the statutory conditions for invoking Section 54(11) are actually satisfied, including a pending proceeding or appeal; the mere possibility that the State may file an appeal is insufficient. The High Court held that the authority could not refuse to process a refund arising from an appellate order simply because the appeal period had not expired, as that showed no conscious application of mind and no valid basis under Rule 92(2).
