ORDER The Petitioner is before this Court against the impugned Order in GST DRC-07 dated 26.02.2025. By the impugned Order dated 26.02.2025, the demand proposed in the Show Cause Notice in GST DRC-01 dated 23.11.2024 has been confirmed. 2. Learned counsel for the Petitioner would submit that barring the tax liability of Rs.2,288/-, the demand that has been confirmed towards alleged excess availing of Input Tax Credit is without any basis. 3. It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the Petitioner that the mistake has arisen primarily on account of wrongly filling in the 2/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
