High Court found the petitioner's statutory replies to Form GST DRC-01 notices inadequate, holding that mere production of voluminous documents does not negate alleged excess input tax claims. The Court required tabulation and reconciliation of bank statement entries with monthly GSTR-3B returns and annual GSTR-9/9C filings, and granted one opportunity for a clarified reply.
