Whether goods seized can be released by invoking writ jurisdiction if no application filed for release of goods before the proper officer?
No, the Honorable Calcutta High Court in the case of Kanak Timber House disposed of the writ petition opining that a person cannot seek the release of the goods by way of filing the writ petition and is required to file application under sub-section (6) of Section 67 of the CGST Act, 2017.
