CGST Summons Valid Despite Ongoing State GST Case: Search Operations Not Barred Under Sections 73-74

March 6, 2025

Case Laws GST HC

Central GST authorities issued summons following a search operation, despite ongoing State GST proceedings. The HC held that statutory prohibition against parallel proceedings under Sections 73 and 74 specifically pertains to assessment proceedings, not investigative actions. Search-based summons are distinct from assessment proceedings as they aim to gather information potentially unavailable during original assessment. The Court distinguished between assessment proceedings and investigative measures, noting that Section 6(2)(b) applies to interrelated events in a particular chain. Since the search occurred after previous assessments, it constitutes a separate proceeding. The summons were deemed valid as investigative tools that may lead to future proceedings. Petition challenging the validity of CGST summons dismissed.
