Validity of demand of GST raised by State authorities - For the same cause of action, the Central Authority has already initiated action - The petitioner contested the order on the grounds of prior proceedings initiated by the Central Authority and alleged lack of timely information provided to the State authorities. The Court found merit in the petitioner's argument regarding the invalidity of the Demand Order due to prior proceedings and dismissed the State authorities' claims of lack of information. Additionally, the Court rejected reliance on a circular mandate as sufficient justification for the State authorities' actions. Consequently, the High Court set aside/quashed the impugned Demand Order.
