The court observed that the show cause notice did not specifically allege wrongful availment or short payment of tax due to fraud, willful misstatement, or suppression of facts to evade tax. Advance ruling authorities in Karnataka, West Bengal, and Chhattisgarh have held that printing books by publishers, where content is provided by educational boards like NCERT, amounts to supply of goods, and the payment of royalty makes the publishers copyright holders as well as printers. While the respondents argued that the writ petition challenging the show cause notice is not maintainable, the court noted that the Supreme Court has stated that interference at the show cause notice stage should be avoided in fiscal statutes, except in cases of violation of statutory provisions, principles of natural justice, or repealed provisions. The petitioner established a prima facie case, and the balance of convenience lies in favor of granting an injunction. The matter is listed for further hearing on December 17, 2024.
