Cause title — parties, addresses and appearances
ORAL ORDER
Petitioner is before this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India questioning Annexure-A dated 07.01.2025 summons issued under Section 70 of Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 to appear before the Authority and to produce certain documents.
Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that there are multiple investigations against the petitioner NC: 2025:KHC:6429 WP No. 4068 of 2025
including investigation by Directorate General of GST and Commercial Tax Department. Therefore, petitioner is not in a position to produce the documents sought for by the respondent/authorities under impugned summons.
When the summons is received by the petitioner, it is open for the petitioner to reply either by producing the documents sought or by explaining the reasons for not producing the documents as sought in the summons. Without first replying to the summons, approaching this Court would be premature.
Therefore, the writ petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to reply to the summons, at the first instance.
All contentions are left open. (S.G.PANDIT) JUDGE
