Allahabad HC mandates strict compliance with binding judicial precedents and imposes personal costs on GST officers


Quick Summary
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that tax authorities failing to adhere to binding judicial precedents demonstrate a serious lack of judicial discipline. In a specific case, the court imposed personal costs on a GST officer for initiating confiscation proceedings under Section 130 of the GST Act instead of the correct demand and recovery sections, despite clear prior rulings. The court also mandated training for officers on legal updates.
