The court found the record established non-generation of Part B of the e-way bill due to a technical error, which was not disputed, and no authority had recorded any finding of mens rea to evade tax. Absent any proven intent to evade payment of tax, the statutory prerequisite for levy of the s.129(3) penalty was not satisfied. In consequence, the penalty and consequential orders were set aside and the petitioner's challenge succeeded. en-us Wed, 12 Nov 2025 08:17:49 +0530 Wed, 12 Nov 2025 08:17:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=94107 The HC quashed the impugned orders imposing penalty under s.129(3) of the GST Act and allowed the petition.
