Goods not liable for seizure and penalty thereof when designated route not taken during transportation

Last updated: 20 November 2024
Quick Summary
The Allahabad High Court (Lucknow Bench) has ruled that goods cannot be seized and penalised simply because a different route was taken during transportation, provided the accompanying documents are genuine. The court found no intention to evade tax and noted that under GST, unlike VAT, there is no requirement to declare a designated route. This decision follows similar rulings by the Gujarat and Telangana High Courts.
