Preventive suspension requires an immediate continuing threat and cannot become indefinite without inquiry, fresh evidence, or proportionate safeguard...
HC ruled that the petitioner, not being a 'supplier' under GST Act Section 2(105), was improperly penalized Rs.7,36,490/- for failing to generate Part-B of E-Way Bill during goods transportation for job work. The court found the penalty disproportionate, considering the petitioner had generated Part-A of E-Way Bill and provided a valid Delivery Challan. The impugned order was modified, reducing the penalty to Rs.25,000/- and directing respondents to refund the excess amount through Electronic Cash or Credit Ledger, thereby partly allowing the petition and rectifying the unjustified punitive action.
