HC quashed rectification order concerning GST penalty u/s 129(3). Initial penalty of Rs. 22,37,220/- was imposed and paid by petitioner through DRC-03 under explicit protest. Authority subsequently attempted to rectify order making demand 'NIL' u/s 161.

Period between rectification order (08.10.2024) and present judgment excluded from limitation period for filing appeal against original order dated 06.10.2024. Rectification nullified, preserving petitioner's appellate rights against original penalty assessment.
