Goods to be released on Bond even if multiple invoices in one e-way bill mentioned : HC

Aji V. Dev, Smt. O.A. Nuriya, Alan Priyadarshi Dev and M.G. Shaji for the Petitioner.

JUDGMENT

1. Petitioner is a dealer. The goods and vehicle have been detained; in the e-way bill generated, petitioner has shown three invoices. Noting that separate e-way bill will have to be generated to each of the invoices, goods have been detained. It is to be noted that, it is not a case where e-way bill does not mention all the invoices. There may be practical difficulty for the Department in tracking the invoices, when multiple number of invoices mentioned in the e-way bill generated. Anyhow, I am of the view that goods and vehicle shall be released to the petitioner on executing a bond. Though the learned Government Pleader submits that the petitioner’s case will be considered by the respondent by tomorrow. Taking note of the nature of the issue, I am of the view that the goods along with vehicle shall be released to the petitioner on executing simple bond.

2. The writ petition is disposed of.
