However, the petitioner apprehends that even without communicating the outcome of the decision taken by the STO, the respondents are, on a day-to-day basis, threatening the petitioner and they have been calling upon the petitioner to come for a personal hearing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that no final decision has been taken by the STO to initiate action against the petitioner under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000698194\">TNGST Act, 2017<\/a>. The petitioner has only been called upon to produce documents under the impugned summons and he has also been called to come for a personal hearing. Further, the petitioner did not participate in the personal hearing and instead he filed this writ petition, challenging the impugned summons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court said that to substantiate his defence that he cannot be once again prosecuted by the State Authority under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000698194\">TNGST Act, 2017<\/a>, he has to participate in the enquiry to be conducted by the STO and only then it can be ascertained whether the proceedings initiated by the Central and State Authority are one and the same involving the same subject matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court held that if it is the same subject matter, the State Authority cannot prosecute the petitioner once again as the Central Authority has already initiated action against the petitioner in respect of the very same subject matter. Further, it said that the petitioner has sent a detailed reply to the impugned summons and even without allowing the same to be considered by the STO on merits, the petitioner has approached the Court prematurely by filing this writ petition. Thus, the Court fixed a date for personal hearing before the STO and state all his objections regarding the impugned Summons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Tvl Metal Trade Incorporation v.
