SVLDRS - unfair classification of the case of the petitioner under “litigation” category, instead of “arrears” category - Once a case travels from the category of show cause notice (“litigation category”) under clauses (a) and (c) to the category under clause (b) which is of a “an amount in arrears” (arrears category) and the declaration is made under the category listed in clause (b) of rule 3(2), it would have to be treated as one single case for the purpose of Rules, 2019, no matter the show cause notice contained two demands of taxes, one under Finance Act, 1994 and the other under Cenvat Credit Rules, 2019. - HC
