The validity of a show cause notice issued under Section 74 CGST was considered alongside whether prior inter-court judgments merge or bind lower authorities. The court held that a Supreme Court dismissal in limine does not effect a merger of a prior judgment, so the merger concept did not apply; consequence: earlier Delhi High Court reasoning could not be treated as merged. The court also held that subsequent High Court decisions taking a different view bind authorities in that jurisdiction; consequence: the impugned show cause notice dated 30/5/2025 was quashed, but authorities retain liberty to reissue a notice strictly complying with Section 74 CGST if legally permissible.
