The HC set aside the impugned order assessing GST on the supply of a corporate guarantee furnished by the petitioner to a related entity, finding the assessing officer failed to consider the petitioner's contention that no consideration was received and that applicable circulars applied. The court held non-consideration of a defense renders an administrative order vulnerable.

The petition is allowed by way of remand.
