The Calcutta High Court quashed a Goods and Services Tax (GST) show cause notice issued to Rathi Cement House, ruling that a single notice covering multiple financial years is invalid to prevent circumventing separate limitation periods. 

Separately, the Supreme Court of India quashed several First Information Reports (FIRs) involving comedian Samay Raina and others following an episode of ‘India’s Got Latent’.
