Supreme Court Stays Delhi HC Order on GST Search of Advocate's Office
The Supreme Court has stayed the Delhi High Court's order permitting GST authorities to search advocate Puneet Batra's office and examine seized computer data. The Court raised concerns about how authorities would segregate attorney-client privileged information during the investigation. The GST department argued it could redact confidential material, but the Court questioned the basis for such determinations. The matter is pending further hearing after the Court issued notice on Batra's plea challenging the High Court judgment.
