Petition Challenging GST Registration Cancellation Allowed Despite Alternative Remedies Under Section 30
Case-Laws
GST
The HC held that the petition challenging the cancellation of GST registration is maintainable despite the availability of an alternative remedy, given the nascent stage of the Act and the complexities faced by a layperson. The Court emphasized that cancellation directly impacts the petitioner's livelihood and State revenue, noting the constitutional right to carry on business subject to statutory compliance. The delay in invoking Section 30 of the Act was condoned in the interest of justice. The petitioner was granted three weeks to file an application under Section 30 along with all pending returns up to the cancellation date. The department is directed to consider and dispose of the application within three weeks thereafter. The petition was disposed of accordingly.
