The SC dismissed the Special Leave Petition, affirming the High Court's directive that the petitioners must pursue their statutory appeal within 30 days, accompanied by the requisite pre-deposit. The Court emphasized the availability of an alternative remedy and underscored the principles of natural justice, noting the absence of an opportunity for cross-examination regarding allegations of evasion of GST through bogus invoices from non-existent or non-operational firms.
