The judgment focused on the interpretation and application of Rule 86A of the CGST Rules, 2017, in the context of the petitioner's blocked account.

The case is set for further proceedings to delve deeper into the compliance issues raised by the petitioner and to ensure a fair consideration of the legal arguments presented.
