The seven-day time limit for issuing a penalty order after service of a notice for detained or seized goods in transit is presented as mandatory under the J&K Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. The use of "shall", the coercive nature of detention and seizure, and the statutory objective of preventing arbitrary or prolonged detention support strict procedural compliance.

A penalty notice or order issued beyond the prescribed period is liable to be quashed, without affecting proceedings otherwise permissible under the Act.
