Proper-officer functions under the CGST Act may be assigned by circular to Central Tax Officers already appointed under a statutory notification, including demand-related functions allocated by monetary limits. Such assignment does not constitute delegation requiring a separate notification. Challenges to the circulars and to the officer's competence on that basis were rejected. A writ challenge to a GST demand order should ordinarily not proceed where an effective statutory appeal is available, unless a recognised exception applies. Where the authority considered the defence, examined documents and granted a personal hearing, reassessment of disputed material lies with the appellate authority. The demand challenge was therefore directed to the statutory appeal, with limitation protection for filing within 30 days.
