Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Batch disposition by the High Court for the State of Telangana (common order dated 01-05-2025, Per the Hon'ble the Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul, with Hon'ble Justice Renuka Yara) in seventeen writ petitions (W.P. Nos. 5025, 7244, 11644, 12090, 12095, 12193, 12207, 12214, 12274, 12285, 12324, 12336, 12401, 12506, 12538, 12677 of 2025 and W.P. No. 30102 of 2024) challenging unsigned/unauthenticated Show Cause Notices in Form DRC-01 and adjudication/summary orders in Form DRC-07 issued under Section 73 (one matter under Section 74) of the CGST/TSGST Acts, 2017, together with consequential garnishee notices in Form DRC-13 and bank account attachments, and in some petitions challenging Notification No. 79 of 2020 and the corresponding G.O. amending Rule 142(1A) of the GST Rules. On the joint request of counsel, noting that since the impugned notices and orders are unsigned they may be set aside in view of the Court's earlier common order dated 28.02.2025 in a batch of writ petitions, the Court set aside the impugned notices and orders, revoked consequential bank attachments, and reserved liberty to the respondents to issue fresh show cause notices/orders in accordance with law, expressly holding that limitation will not be a hurdle for the fresh exercise. The writ petitions were disposed of without expressing any opinion on the merits, with no order as to costs, and miscellaneous petitions were closed.
