The Allahbad High Court bench of Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh has held that GSTN authority is required to consider the feasibility of providing an additional field in the online form to be filled by dealers/transporters to obtain E-way bill.

Facts of the Case

 The vehicle of petitioner is undisputedly detained by the officer, and in absence of any disputes, the rule of Section 138(10) states that goods may never be seized if the E-way Bill is renewed or freshly applied within the validity of existing E-way bill. The petitioner submitted that vehicle was ODC(over dimensional cargo). The description of ODC could not be fed while obtained E-way bill as the GSTN portal does not allow such descriptions to be fed. So the writ is filed against Mr. Gaurav mahajan Council member of GSTN.
