Summons issued under the GST law were upheld because the proper officer was conducting an ongoing inquiry under Section 70 and was authorised to require attendance, evidence, and documents in the manner of a civil court. The High Court held that judicial interference at that stage would improperly obstruct and scuttle the inquiry, particularly where the summons concerned alleged availment of fake input tax credit. The challenge to the summons was therefore rejected and the writ petition was dismissed with costs.
