The High Court dismissed the petition, holding that it would not be appropriate to interfere in the matter during the pendency of the appeal before the appellate authority. The petitioner was granted the liberty to raise all submissions before the appellate authority, which would undoubtedly consider and pass appropriate orders. The Division Bench had protected the petitioner from recovery proceedings on the ground that the entire IGST amount had already been paid. According to Section 77 of the GST Act, if a registered person has paid Central or State Tax and is subsequently held liable for Inter-State GST, the wrongly deposited amount would be refunded, allowing payment as per the authorities' determination. This aspect can be duly verified by the first appellate authority.
