Quick Summary
A composition dealer purchased goods from a registered supplier but failed to file GSTR-3B and pay tax. The GST officer is now demanding tax, even though the client is a composition dealer and hasn't claimed Input Tax Credit (ITC). The core question is whether the officer can recover this tax, especially since the goods were purchased from a registered dealer and the client has not availed any ITC.

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.
When purchase was made seller was registered. after some time he cancelled his registration.
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.
