GST E-Way Bills Not Required: Allahabad HC Throws Out Penalties (Feb 1, 2018 – Mar 31, 2018)

Allahabad HC's Order in the Case of Hira Lal Arun Kumar V/S State of U.P.

The Allahabad High Court in a ruling addressed the levied penalties under the U.P. GST Act for transporting goods without an e-way bill. The matter is towards levying the penalties via the Assistant Commissioner under the U.P. GST Act, 2017.

While quoting the duration between February 2018 and March 2018, it was claimed by the applicant that the need for the e-way bills was not able to be enforced directing a precedent from the court in M/s Godrej and Boyce Manufacturing Co. Ltd vs State of U.P.

With the applicant’s opinion, the High Court concurred highlighting that at the time of the cited duration, the legislation of the e-way bills was not statutorily tenable. The penalties levied on the applicant for transporting the goods without an e-way bill were considered unjustified. It was indeed remarked by the court that procedural discrepancies were there in dismissing the petition of the applicant which kept the quashing of penalties.

The Allahabad High Court on the foundation of the interpretation of the law and precedents permitted the writ petition, consequently quashing the penalty orders on March 20, 2018, and April 26, 2019.

It led the applicant to refund any deposited amounts within 1 month. The same judgment supports the importance of statutory clarity and compliance with the legal provisions in the cases related to the GST and e-way bills.
