As per section 9(3)or 9(4) of CGST Act, Goods held in stock by a Composite Dealer have not been purchased from an unregistered dealer. In casehe has made purchase, tax must have been paid. He shall pay tax under reverse charge under section 9(3) or 9(4) on the inward supply of goods or service or both received.

Dear Asif Shaikh

I agree with you in your case the tax officer cannot recover tax default by supplier in case the Recepeint has not avail the ITC or he is not liable to avail ITC.
As per section 155 of CGST the burden to proof ITC available is on Recepeint.
As per Section 43A (6) , Recepeint is liable only if he claimed ITC.
