Section 130 comes to picture only when if tax penalty imposed under section 129 is not paid within 14 days.

Simultaneously invocation of both section may be defective as for confiscation the owner must be showcased.Proper adjudication process should be followed for confiscation of goods/coveyance under section 130

Section 129 deals with transportation in contravention of provisions of Act or rule there under. Section 130 deals with intention to evade payment of tax. For the former, mens rea is not required. [Synergy Fertichem Pvt Ltd v State of Gujarat - 2019 (12) TMI 1213 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT].

Before 1-1-2022, where a registered person failed to pay tax and penalty u/s 129 within 14 days of detention, section 130 could be invoked. In other words, a section 129 proceedings could be converted into section 130 proceedings.

After 01-01-2022, Section 129 and section 130 proceedings are independent. In my humble opinion, sections 129 and 130 cannot be simultaneously invoked for the same movement of goods. If PO finds intention to evade tax, he may invoke 130, otherwise he may invoke section 129.
