Headnote AI-drafted · Editorially reviewed

These writ appeals were filed by various Central Tax authorities before a Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court, challenging orders passed by a learned Single Judge in writ petitions filed by different assessees under the Goods and Services Tax regime. The appeals arose from a batch of matters involving issues related to GST liability, anti-evasion proceedings, and the exercise of jurisdiction by Central Tax authorities under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.

The appeals were consolidated and heard together as they raised common questions of law relating to the interpretation and application of GST provisions, including the scope of inspection, search, and investigation powers of the GST authorities, as well as the rights of assessee entities to challenge show cause notices and demand orders by invoking the extraordinary writ jurisdiction of the High Court.

The Division Bench comprising Hon'ble Mr. Justice S.G. Pandit and Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.V. Aravind took up the batch of writ appeals for consideration, with the proceedings involving multiple assessees including education societies, real estate firms, technology companies, builders, agro-beverage companies, and travel logistics firms, along with several intervening applicants.
