Omission of a statutory rule that lacks a saving clause removes the legal basis for actions taken solely under it; the impugned recovery proceedings were instituted exclusively under Rule 96(10) of the CGST Rules and, following the rule's omission, the statutory foundation ceased to exist, requiring those orders to be set aside.
