Levy of penalty - Compliance with the E-Way bill as required under the provisions of the CGST/UPGST Act and related rule or not - presumption of tax evasion in its absence - The High Court scrutinized the timing of E-Way Bill download and interception, concluding that the E-Way Bill was indeed downloaded before the interception, indicating compliance with the law.
