    <title>Penalty under s.129 quashed where Form GST-MOV-01, invoice, e-way bill, and transport voucher showed no tax evasion intent</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=92503</link>
    <description>The HC allowed the appeal and writ petition, holding that penalty under s.129 could not be imposed. The court found the appellant had produced requisite documentation (Form GST-MOV-01), an invoice from the job-worker, an e-way bill for stock transfer, and a stock transfer voucher corroborated by the transporter&#039;s document, demonstrating absence of mens rea to evade tax. The HC set aside the orders of the adjudicating and appellate authorities, deleted the penalty, and directed release/cancellation of the bank guarantee furnished in favour of the department. Given the factual matrix and documentary proof of lawful stock transfer from the job-worker to the appellant, no penal liability survived.</description>
