The HC quashed the order blocking the petitioner's Electronic Credit Ledger u/r 86A of CGST Rules, 2017 due to the absence of a pre-decisional hearing and lack of independent or cogent reasons to believe. The order impermissibly relied on borrowed satisfaction from another officer's report, contrary to the HC's decision in K-9-Enterprises's case. The absence of valid material constituting 'reasons to believe' failed to satisfy Rule 86A's mandatory requirements. Consequently, the impugned order blocking the ECL was quashed for being illegal and arbitrary.
