The Allahabad High Court has quashed a "search and seizure order," ruling that the "officer was unaware of the GST Act provisions" and has directed "3 months of training." The court's decision, which is a significant victory for the company, was made on the grounds that the company's claim was not supported by evidence. The ruling clarifies that a tax authority can't add a tax to a company's account without a valid reason.
