The Delhi High Court has quashed the Order-in-Original passed by the Goods and Services Tax (GST) officer, the Department of Trade & Taxes, the Government of N.C.T. of Delhi, and allowed the ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited writ petition.

Thus, the company challenged the order and filed a writ petition.

The bench directed the adjudicating authority to proceed afresh considering the show-cause notice and reply submitted by the company.
