The HC allowed the challenge to the rectification order in part and set aside the impugned demand insofar as it was computed on total turnover without reasoning; it held the Adjudicating Authority erred by imposing GST on aggregate turnover of combo packs despite available delineation of B2B and B2C sales. The Court found breach of natural justice and procedural infirmity in levying differential tax and multiple penalties.
