HC determined the jurisdictional authority of SGST to initiate and adjudicate tax proceedings. The court held that under Section 6(2)(b) of CGST Act, the DGST Department must reconsider the prior appellate order and reassess the show cause notice and subsequent impugned order. The impugned order was set aside, with instructions to place the Commissioner's (Appeals-I) order before DGST for fresh consideration and comprehensive review of the underlying tax matter.
