Merger control notice and disclosure rules: Supreme Court limits penalties, rejects reopening of approved combination, and sets aside adverse findings...
The High Court reviewed the validity of the show cause notice (SCN) and assessment order u/s 129 of the CGST Act. The issue centered on penalty imposition due to non-updation of the e-way bill resulting from goods transfer to another vehicle. The court found no evidence of intent to contravene the Act or evade tax. Consequently, a general penalty of Rs. 25,000 was imposed on the petitioner u/s 125 of the CGST Act. The impugned notice and order were set aside, with a direction for the respondents to refund the tax after deducting the penalty. The court deemed it just to levy the maximum penalty of Rs. 25,000, ultimately allowing the petition.
