Case Law Details
Shahil Traders Vs State of U.P. (Allahabad High Court)
In the case of Shahil Traders Vs State of U.P., the Allahabad High Court examined the validity of penalty and detention orders related to E-way bills and ownership of goods. The petitioner challenged the orders demanding a penalty of Rs. 6,17,087/-.
The petitioner, Shahil Traders, claimed to be the owner of goods dispatched to M/s Harshika Steel Sales, backed by tax invoices and E-way bills. However, the revenue authorities detained the goods, casting doubts on the consignee’s genuineness. The court assessed both parties’ arguments and referred to relevant circulars and precedents. It found that the petitioner had produced valid documents and was the goods’ rightful owner.
The Allahabad High Court ruled in favor of Shahil Traders, quashing the penalty and detention orders. The judgment establishes the significance of authentic E-way bills and rightful ownership of goods in such cases, providing relief to genuine traders facing unjust penalties.
