Ltd. regarding the use of the ‘ACC’ trademark to prevent consumer confusion, and quashed GST proceedings against Hikal Limited due to the omission of specific tax rules. The Calcutta High Court also quashed an adjudication order, citing a violation of natural justice because the petitioner was not properly notified of a show cause notice.
