The HC allowed the petition and quashed the impugned detention orders, holding that detention of goods was unsustainable where the goods, moving under a commercial agreement with a government entity, were accompanied by a genuine tax invoice and an e-way bill that expired due to a vehicular breakdown; a fresh e-way bill was generated prior to the issuance of an order under s.129(3) of the GST Act.
