The Assistant State Tax Officer vs. M/S.Hydrolic Corportion Kerla
Held
The High Court allowed the review petition, clarifying that adjudication proceedings initiated after detention under Section 129 must be completed under Section 129 itself, not Section 130. The earlier judgment was recalled for this limited clarification.
Facts
The State filed a review petition against a High Court judgment that directed adjudication of a GST dispute under Section 130 after goods release, following detention. The State contended that adjudication, subsequent to a detention initiated under Section 129, should be completed under Section 129 itself.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was whether adjudication proceedings, subsequent to goods detention under GST, should be completed under Section 129 or Section 130 of the GST Act.
