..... oked. Then, in the present case, the revenue authorities further admit to the issuance of the e-way bills against the aforesaid invoices. Therefore, the transaction was not only made against the regular invoice but also the details of the transaction were uploaded on the portal of the revenue authority. The alleged discrepancy in GSTR-3B and GSTR-2A referred to by the assessing authority did not even find favour with the appeal authority, inasmuch as, it did not refer to the same in the impugned order. Therefore, that part of the submission advanced by learned Standing Counsel cannot be accepted - Petition allowed. - WRIT TAX No. 614 of 2020 - - - Dated:- 17-3-2021 - Hon'ble Saumitra Dayal Singh, J.

Accordingly, by it's order dated 19.3.2020 passed under Section 130(2) of the Act, the assessing authority had determined the turnover of iron scrap, at the hands of the petitioner, at ₹ 7,46,50,000/-.

..... been submitted that it was a specific case of the petitioner that e-way bills had been uploaded against both aforesaid transactions. Copies of the same have also been annexed with the writ petition. 9. By means of paragraph no.29 of the counter affidavit, denial has been made, however, the respondent revenue-authority has not denied the issuance of the invoice and the e-way bills, as claimed by the petitioner.
