https://lawtimesjournal.in/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Telangana-HC.jpg1200628The bench consisting of Justices MS Ramachandra Rao and T. Amarnath Goud of the Telangana High Court held in the case of M/S. Agarwal Foundries Private Ltd. vs Union Of India [Writ Petition No.28268 of 2019] that GST officials cannot use force against an individual who they suspect may be guilty of the offence of evasion of tax. The court relied on the CGST Act, 2007 to observe that the officials cannot claim liberty to use physical force on the accused.
