Quick Summary

The Supreme Court has upheld a ruling stating that purchasers are only responsible for ensuring they have genuinely bought goods for valuable consideration after verifying the seller's GST registration on the official GST portal. This decision came in a case where goods in transit were detained, but the court found the buyer's responsibility was limited to this verification, even if the seller later proved problematic.
