Proceedings initiated by State Authority u/s 74 are valid even if Central Authority has already initiated proceedings. The term 'initiation of proceedings' refers to issuance of notice under CGST/SGST Acts, not issuance of summons u/s 70 for inquiry. The Patna High Court's judgment in Baibhaw Construction did not consider this aspect. Therefore, the petitions lack merit and are dismissed.
