Writ petitions challenging search and seizure were held premature because the statutory investigative process had advanced to issuance of show-cause notices under the CGST Act; petitioners must first exhaust the statutory remedy and may attack any final Order-in-Original. The court applied judicial restraint, confining review of the recorded reasons to Wednesbury reasonableness and refusing to rehear administrative judgment on its merits.
