The HC quashed proceedings initiated under section 74(1) of the Act against the petitioner, finding no sustainable basis for fraud or tax-evasion allegations. The court held that restoration of the selling dealer's registration negated any presumption that transactions were with an unregistered dealer; documentary evidence established physical movement of goods, banking channel payments, and consistent ledger entries without contradiction by authorities.
