Case Laws GST HC
The Madras High Court examined the validity of summons issued u/s 70 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, following alleged abuse and threat during a premises search. The court emphasized that interference with a summons is warranted only in exceptional circumstances. The petitioner sought intervention based on a prior police complaint against the fifth respondent. However, the court noted that the relevant file had been transferred from the fifth respondent, assuring the petitioner of a different officer handling the matter. Consequently, the court dismissed the petition, finding the petitioner's apprehension unfounded.
