JUDGMENT
In all these cases, the petitioners are aggrieved by the order-in-
original passed under Section 74 of the CGST Act , which is produced as Ext.P3 in all these writ petitions. In all these cases, the grievance of the petitioner is that, along with the notice to initiate proceedings under Section 74 , the petitioners were not served with the summary of the notices in form DRC-01 as contemplated under Rule 142 of the CGST Rules. According to the petitioner, due to the non issuance of Form DRC-01, the petitioner was denied the opportunity to make the payment as contemplated under Subsection (8) of Section 74 of the CGST Act .
2. In the writ petitions, the original challenge was that, Ext.P3 orders were passed without issuing notice to the petitioners. However, when the respondent produced the copies of the show cause notices under Section 74 issued to the petitioners, a new contention is raised by the petitioners to the effect that, even according to the respondent, DRC-01 was issued to the petitioners only on 19/05/20
