HC held that the challenge to the original order u/s 73 pursuant to DRC-01 dated 30.05.2024 was infructuous, as the earlier demand dated 24.08.2024 stood obliterated and substituted by a revised order dated 18.03.2025 under s.161, raising a fresh demand of Rs. 3,85,35,356/- on different grounds.

The order dated 18.03.2025 is to operate as a show cause notice. Petition dismissed.
