The respondent authority failed to provide reasons for levying interest and penalty, despite the goods being transferred between the petitioner's establishments, not sold. The court relied on CBIC's circular and previous judgments in Dhabriya Polywood Ltd. and Orson Holdings Company Ltd., which granted benefit of doubt and considered lack of ill-intent, respectively. The impugned orders were quashed and set aside, and the matter was remanded for a fresh de novo order, assigning detailed reasons after hearing the petitioner, considering the cited decisions.
