Summary

Issues:
Release of detained vehicle under Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017.

Analysis:
The petitioners approached the High Court seeking the release of their detained vehicle by respondent No.3 due to noncompliance with the provisions of The Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 by respondents No.4 and 5. The petitioners had filed a representation on 06.03.2019 to respondent No.3, which was produced in Court. The learned counsel for the petitioners requested a direction to respondent No.3 to make a decision promptly after providing an opportunity for a hearing to the petitioners. The High Court, without delving into the merits of the case, disposed of the writ petition by instructing respondent No.3 to decide on the representation dated 06.03.2019 and issue a speaking order after giving a chance for a hearing to the petitioners within 15 days from the receipt of the certified copy of the order, in compliance with the law.
