                                            8.  Our attention has been drawn to the impugned notice more particu-
                                     larly,  Page  No. 30 of the paper-book.  It is evident from the Paragraph No. 7
                                     therein that the writ-applicant was directed to appear before the authority con-
                                     cerned on 5-4-2019 at 11.00 a.m. Despite the same, the impugned order came to
                                     be passed on the very same day i.e. 5-4-2019 on which the writ-applicant was
                                     supposed to  remain present for the purpose of hearing. On this  short ground
                                     alone, we are inclined to quash the impugned order of confiscation passed by the
                                     authority concerned in Form GST-MOV-11.
                                            9.  In the result, this writ-application succeeds and is hereby allowed.
                                     The impugned order in the Form GST MOV-11 is hereby quashed and set-aside.
                                     The matter  is remitted to  the respondent No.  1 for  fresh adjudication. The re-
                                     spondent No. 1 shall issue notice to the writ-applicant for the purpose of giving
                                     an opportunity of hearing. On the date fixed by the respondent No. 1, the writ-
                                     applicants shall remain present and make good his case.
                                            10.  With the above, this writ-application stands disposed of. Let this
                                     exercise be completed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of
                                     the writ of this order.
                                            11.  Direct service is permitted.

                                                                     _______
