Parallel GST proceedings are barred only when both actions concern the same subject matter, meaning the same tax liability, facts, contravention and period. Here, the later Section 74 proceedings related to Financial Year 2018-2019 and alleged wrongful availment of input tax credit on goods-less invoices, while the earlier Section 73 action concerned Financial Year 2019-2020 and different return discrepancies; the bar under Section 6(2)(b) therefore did not apply and the proceedings were maintainable.
