ORDER
  1. This appeal takes exception to the judgment and order dated 24-6-2019 passed by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in AAP & Cov. Union of India [2019] 107 taxmann.com 125/75 GST 192.

  3. Learned counsel for the respondent was at pains to persuade us that the three-Judge Bench judgment can be distinguished, without realising that the three-Judge Bench judgment expressly overrules the impugned judgment. In such a case, the argument of distinguishing the three-judge Bench judgment is not available.
  4. The note submitted by the respondent is taken on record only to be rejected.
  5. The appeal succeeds on the same terms as in Civil Appeal No. 6520 of 2021 titled Bharti Airtel Ltd.’s case (supra).
  6. The civil appeal is disposed of in the above terms.
  7. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
