The Supreme Court held that an undertaking to arrange fund infusion does not amount to a guarantee under contract law. Without a clear promise to discharge the borrower’s debt, no liability can be enforced against the promoter.
The Supreme Court reinstated a judicial officer removed solely for granting bail without citing a statute in four cases. The Court emphasized that judicial errors alone cannot justify disciplinary action and awarded full back wages.
The issue was whether Section 74 penalties apply when tax is paid later but monthly returns were not filed. SC upheld that wilful suppression through non-filing justifies penalty despite subsequent payment.
The Court held that export consignments are regulated by the Foreign Trade Policy, not domestic food safety norms. FSSAI standards cannot be enforced unless expressly incorporated into the FTP.
The Supreme Court confirms that failure to file monthly GST returns, even if taxes are later paid, may constitute wilful suppression, attracting Section 74 penalties.
Concerns were raised that the definition could narrow protected areas and enable unregulated mining. The Court ordered an independent expert review before any enforcement.
