3. In this writ petition, the petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging the impugned order dated 30.09.2024. By the impugned order that proposal in notice in DRC 01 dated 10.06.2024 has been confirmed after taking note of the petitioner's reply dated 19.07.2024.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that during the period in dispute the petitioner has excess of credit in electronic ledger under IGST which was utilized for discharging the tax liability under CGST and SGST. Page No. 2 of 4

5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that after the mistake was pointed out, the petitioner has reversed the IGST. However, he has not paid CGST and SGST. He further submitted that the petitioner has a fair case to succeed as the petitioner has failed to give a proper reply. Since the petitioner has admittedly reversed the IGST that was debited towards the tax liability paid under IGST and SGST. It is deemed that the tax paid by the petitioner under CGST and SGST is to be paid.

6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner will pay the amount in cash. He further submitted that the penalty is imposed under Section 74 (1) (b). Since the matter is remitted back to the respondent on condition that the petitioner shall deposit the entire amount of disputed tax of Rs.1,11,518/-, the petitioner shall pay the same within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

7. The issue regarding the penal and interest alone has to be adjudicated. In case the petitioner has already paid the amount, it is for the petitioner to establish that the amount has already been paid. C.SARAVANAN.J gv Page No. 3 of 4
