- The Supreme Court ruled that Section 122(1) of the CGST Act, 2017 does not apply to non-taxable persons and that Section 122(1A), effective from January 1, 2021, cannot be applied retrospectively to assessment years 2017-2020. The Court stayed the recovery of the penalty, requiring the petitioner to deposit 25% of the demand. The case involved allegations of fraudulent Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims by Mukesh Kumar Garg, who argued he was not a taxable person and challenged the retrospective application of penalties. The Supreme Court granted leave to examine these legal questions.
