Powers of inspection, search, seizure and arrest - penalties and prosecution - validity of section 69 &132, section 70(1), section 67(1) and 69, Section 137 and section 135 of GST - There is regime of well-established remedies and procedures under the laws of criminal procedure. Revenue legislation also provides its own internal discipline.
