ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT [ Shri Baba Traders V/s State of U.P. and 3 Others]
Allahabad High Court held that where supplier’s GST registration was suspended and goods were transported without valid e-way bill, tax invoice issued during suspension cannot be treated as valid document. Petitioner cannot claim release as owner under Section 129(1)(a). Detention and penalty under Section 129(1)(b) was held valid. Court distinguished earlier judgments where documents were otherwise valid and dismissed writ petition.
