The HC upheld the Adjudicating Authority's findings of fraudulent availment and further passing on of ITC based on invoices from non-existent entities, rejecting the petitioner's replies as insufficient to contest the investigation. The Court emphasized that establishing fraudulent ITC utilization often requires analysis across multiple financial years to reveal consistent patterns of bogus transactions. It held that the non-grant of cross-examination caused no prejudice, as all relied-upon documents were recovered from the petitioner's premises, who was aware of the actual status of the parties involved. The HC declined to reappraise factual findings in writ jurisdiction, noting its limited scope under Articles 226 and 227. The petitioner was granted an extended period until 31 August 2025 to file a time-barred appeal with requisite pre-deposit, which will be heard on merits if filed within the stipulated time. The petition was disposed of accordingly.
