Habeas corpus challenge to arrest safeguards remains maintainable, but substantial compliance with reasons-to-believe requirement defeats the petition...
A HC declined to entertain a writ petition challenging GST detention and release proceedings because the tax and penalty were paid after service of notice in Form GST MOV-07 and the goods were then released, with no contemporaneous protest shown. The Court treated the proceedings as concluded upon payment, held that the penalty order was appealable, and noted that no appeal had been filed within the prescribed period. It found no demonstrated violation of natural justice or jurisdictional error to justify bypassing the statutory appellate remedy, and dismissed the petition as devoid of merit.
