Supreme Court
Notice issued in SLP filed against impugned order of High Court holding that where assessee construction contractor challenged penalty order for alleged irregular input tax credit on grounds of natural justice and jurisdiction after appeal was dismissed on limitation, since statutory appeal before GST Tribunal was enabled with additional grace period and Tribunal was competent to examine factual and legal grounds, writ petition under Article 226 could not substitute appellate remedy and same was to be dismissed with liberty to approach Tribunal
Rajasthan High Court
Where statutory GST appeal was dismissed as time barred and delay in filing was due to medical circumstances beyond control, writ jurisdiction could be invoked in such exceptional cases to advance justice, warranting condonation of delay so that appeal could be heard on merits, subject to statutory deposit requirements and late fee payments
Calcutta High Court
Where assessee filed rectification application for ITC after prescribed cut-off as per departmental circulars but statute provided no time limit, executive circulars imposing six-month cap could not override substantive right under Section 16(5), and rejection for delay was unsustainable so rectification application was to be reconsidered on merits unless delay was found exceptional
Karnataka High Court
Where civil contractor executed road works under contract with State and, following GST replacing VAT, paid differential GST due to regime change, contractor became entitled to reimbursement of additional GST from beneficiary State entity, as liability to bear such tax rests on service recipient and reimbursement right extends only to tax attributable to GST regime introduction, subject to verification and law
Bombay High Court
Where show cause notice regarding tax demand involving alleged fraud was not effectively served or uploaded on correct portal window and order under section 74(9) was passed without personal hearing, breach of natural justice occurred warranting quashing of notice and order; matter remanded for fresh decision after affording opportunity to reply and hearing
Gauhati High Court
Where assessee's appeal under section 107 against ex-parte order for excess ITC was rejected as time-barred and Tribunal was still non-functional, writ against appellate order was maintainable as filing was within statutory window prescribed under Section 112 and Ministry Notification; alternative remedy would not oust Article 226 jurisdiction. GST: Where assessee’s appeal under section 107 was dismissed as time-barred after prior rectification was pursued in good faith and within statutory limitation, principles of section 14 of Limitation Act applied to exclude period spent on rectification proceedings, making appeal filed within condonable one month; thus, appeal would not be time-barred. GST: Where assessee filed appeal within condonable period after OIO confirming excess ITC, absence of a separate condonation application should not have led to summary dismissal, as statutory scheme and Order XLI Rule 3A CPC contemplated affording at least one opportunity to explain delay; thus, non-adherence would render appellate order unsustainable and required restoration for fresh consideration after giving such opportunity
Karnataka High Court
Where goods and conveyance were detained due to quantity mismatch and penalty was paid as per appellate order while suo motu revision was pending, release was required on protective basis on deposit of appropriate securities
Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court
Where assessee filed appeal with one-day delay beyond condonable period due to sister's death and Appellate Authority rejected it as time- barred, though statute restricts condonation to one month, extraordinary writ power can remedy gross injustice, so delay was condoned, rejection order set aside and appeal restored for decision on merits to avoid harshness
