The Court directed service of all petitions and granted time to file reply affidavits by 12 February 2026. Considering the averments and submissions, the Court granted ad-interim protection by staying the impugned GST demand orders until the next hearing scheduled for 18 February 2026. Let all the petitions be served during the course of the day. We accordingly order that there shall be an ad-interim stay to the respective impugned orders, subject matter of each of the Writ Petitions till the adjourned date of hearing.
