ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT [Vishnu Singh VS State of UP and 2 Others]
The Allahabad High Court set aside the penalty and tax imposed under Section 129(3) of the GST Act due to a minor clerical mistake in the e-way bill. The court held that a mere human error, without intent to evade tax, does not justify penalty proceedings. Relying on past judgments, it ruled that the e-way bill’s purpose is to track goods movement, not penalize minor discrepancies.
