The HC allowed the writ petition and intra-Court appeal, setting aside the appellate authority's order dated 4th October 2024. The matter was remanded to the Assistant Commissioner, CGST and Central Excise, Dinajpur Division, for fresh adjudication. The court emphasized the necessity to afford the assessee an opportunity to reconcile the alleged wrongful availing of ITC, highlighting that if the ITC has already been reversed, the issue becomes revenue neutral, negating the requirement for any pre-deposit. The absence of interest levy by the adjudicating authority further indicated reversal of ITC. The HC underscored that these factual disputes must be resolved by the original authority, ensuring adherence to principles of natural justice.
