2.This Writ Petition is being disposed of at the time of admission with the consent of the learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Government Advocate for the Respondents.

3. Both the learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Government Advocate for the Respondents confirmed that the issue is squarely covered by the decision of this Court in Tvl.Suguna Cut Piece Center, Represented by its Authorized Signatory Vs.

iii.If any Input Tax Credit has remained utilized, it shall not be utilised until it is scrutinized and approved by an appropriate or a competent officer of the Department.
