What happened

The legal system has reached a peak state of enlightenment as the Bombay High Court continues to deliberate whether a donut should be taxed as a 'cake' (5% GST) or 'confectionery' (18% GST). Bureaucrats are reportedly analyzing if the hole in the middle constitutes a 'service' or a 'good,' while the common taxpayer wonders if they are being charged GST on the air they breathe between bites.
