Legal possession for GST registration cannot be denied solely because landlords dispute the tenant's lease rights.
Case-Laws
GST
GST registration requires the registering authority to verify whether the applicant has legal possession of the business premises, without conducting a detailed adjudication of landlord-tenant disputes over the scope of lease rights. Lease documents permitting showroom operations, co-lessees' authorisation for a managing partner to form and operate a partnership firm, and landlords' own proceedings indicating the partner's possession may prima facie establish the firm's legal possession for registration purposes. Where a registration application lacks required supporting documents, a fresh application may be filed with those documents and must be considered in accordance with these principles within the stipulated period.
