Dhanaswaroopdas vs. Assistant State Tax Officer
Held
The Court directed the Assistant State Tax Officer to complete the adjudication process within one week, considering the petitioner's contentions regarding the non-availability of Form KER II and the submission of a manual declaration.
Facts
The petitioner's goods were detained because the consignment was allegedly not accompanied by the necessary declaration in Form KER I. The petitioner argued that the transporter was supposed to file Form KER II, but the website did not enable its generation, and a manual KER II was submitted at the check post.
Key Issues
Whether the detention of goods was justified given the alleged technical issues with online form generation and the submission of a manual declaration. The court did not rule on the vires of statutory rules.
