Habeas corpus challenge to arrest safeguards remains maintainable, but substantial compliance with reasons-to-believe requirement defeats the petition...
A High Court disposed of the writ petition as premature and directed the Deputy Commissioner of State Tax to pass an order on the impugned notice within one week, since a hearing on the notice had already been concluded. The Court noted that the petitioner could move an interim stay application before the GST Tribunal after the portal became available for such filings. It further directed that any contemplated recovery must be preceded by 10 days' prior notice, and kept all contentions open.
