The HC allowed the writ appeal, reversed the writ court's order and held the SVLDRS declaration and resultant discharge certificate void ab initio due to material misrepresentation: the declarant knowingly misclassified the matter as "voluntary disclosure" despite ongoing investigations, thus suppressing a material fact under the Scheme.
