It was further argued that after detention of the goods a show cause notice was issued to which no reply was submitted by the petitioner to explain the fact that under what circumstances, part -B of the eway bill was not filled. The amount was deposited and goods were got released on the next date, which shows that there was contravention of the provisions as contemplated under the Act. 9. He further argued that each case of detention, seizure as well as penalty has to be looked into independently on its own facts therefore the judgements relied upon by the counsel for the petitioner are of no help to him as the aforesaid judgements have also been given in the facts of respective case. 10. He further argued that the argument raised by the counsel for the petitioner that the Circular dated 14.9.2018 has binding over the provisions of Section 129 of the Act, is incorrect as after taking note of the difficulty faced by the registered dealer, the aforesaid circular has been issued, wherein it has been prescribed for not initiating the proceedings under Section 129 of the Act, which falls from under para 5 of clause a to f; but the facts of the present case are differen....

.... not a single word has been whispered in the writ petition about the said argument, as such the petitioner's counsel cannot be permitted to argue the case without any pleading in the writ petition. 16. Hon'ble the Apex Court in the case of Bachhaj Nahar Vs.Nilima Mandal and another, (2008) 17 SCC 491 has held as under:- 9. The object and purpose of pleadings and issues is to ensure that the litigants come to trial with all issues clearly defined and to prevent cases being expanded or grounds being shifted during trial. Its object is also to ensure that each side is fully alive to the questions that are likely to be raised or considered so that they may have an opportunity of placing the relevant evidence appropriate to the issues before the court for its consideration.

As has been already noticed, although the point as to profiteering by the State was pleaded in the writ petitions before the High Court as an abstract point of law, there was no reference to any material in support thereof nor was the point argued at the hearing of the writ petitions. Before us also, no particulars and no facts have been given in the special leave petitions or in the writ petitions or in any affidavit, but the point has been sought to be substantiated at the time of hearing by referring to certain facts stated in the said application by HSIDC. In our opinion, when a point which is ostensibly a point of law is required to be substantiated by facts, the party raising the point, if he is the writ petitioner, must plead and prove such facts by evidence which must appear from the writ petition and if he is the respondent, from the counter-affidavit. If the facts are not pleaded or the evidence in support of such facts is not annexed to the writ petition or to the counter-aff....
