HC dismissed writ petition challenging tax penalty order involving alleged fraudulent Input Tax Credit (ITC) of Rs. 56.2 crores across 527 firms. The Court found no violation of natural justice, noting the petitioner's contradictory statements and lack of arbitrary administrative action. The impugned order was deemed appropriate, with the Court declining to interfere under Article 226 jurisdiction, emphasizing the need for circumspection when large-scale tax fraud is alleged. Petition was consequently rejected, upholding the Department's findings and penalty order.
