Held

The provided text only includes the case details, parties, and a list of exhibits (summons, guidelines, agreements, circulars, notifications). The actual judgment text, containing the Court's reasoning and decision, is not present in the provided document.

Facts

Hajj and Umrah service providers filed multiple writ petitions challenging summons issued by the Superintendent Prevention, Office of the Commissioner of Central Tax & Central Excise, in late 2017 and early 2018. The petitioners likely contested the taxability of their services or the authority of the summons.

Key Issues

The key legal issue appears to be the taxability of Hajj and Umrah services provided by the petitioners under the GST regime, as evidenced by the summons issued by tax authorities.
