Karnataka High Court
Where petitioner filed appeal beyond condonable period due to medical ailments supported by medical certificate and appeal was dismissed as time-barred, delay was satisfactorily explained, rejection order was set aside and appeal was restored for consideration on merits after affording hearing, keeping all contentions open
Supreme Court
Where assessee, having filed a writ petition, sought permission during hearing to withdraw with liberty to pursue statutory appellate remedy before appropriate forum, such withdrawal was permitted, and writ petition was disposed of as withdrawn; SLP challenging impugned order was dismissed, as instant Court found no ground to entertain it, while granting liberty to raise all grounds before GSTAT
Bombay High Court
Where assessee’s refund appeal was dismissed by Appellate Authority solely for non-attendance without addressing merits or providing a speaking order, such non-speaking dismissal violated statutory mandate and principles of natural justice, warranting quashing of impugned order and restoration of appeal for merit-based adjudication
Bombay High Court
Where pre-deposit was made for appeal and First Appellate Authority dropped part of tax demand with no departmental appeal against that portion, petitioner was entitled to proportionate refund of pre-deposit for amount set aside, as insistence on finality for entire proceedings was erroneous and retention of such amount was unauthorized in law
Madras High Court
Where petitioner's electronic credit ledger was blocked under Rule 86A upon finding of bill trading by supplier, and petitioner sought to use blocked ITC for appellate pre-deposit under Section 49(4) read with Section 107, use of credit ledger for pre-deposit is ordinarily permitted but is barred when credit stands blocked, as Section 49(4) does not confer absolute right to such use during blockage
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
Rajasthan High Court
Where SCNs and OIO were only uploaded on portal without effective service or acknowledgment to petitioner, causing delayed appeal filing, limitation period was not triggered and appellate authority's dismissal of appeal as time-barred was unjustified, delay was condoned and appeal restored for decision on merits in line with consistent writ rulings
Rajasthan High Court
Where assessee remained unaware of GST demand order due to it being uploaded only on portal under Additional Notices and Orders and not served manually, and e-filing of appeal stood blocked as time-barred, delay in filing appeal was condoned considering circumstances were beyond assessee's control and Appellate Authority was required to adjudicate appeal on merits
Rajasthan High Court
Where demand was confirmed against assessee and order was uploaded on portal under additional notices and orders tab, and assessee approached instant court with delay of 124 days, having satisfied that delay was due to reasons beyond control of assessee, appellate authority was to be directed to entertain appeal if same was filed within 30 days
Calcutta High Court
Where SCN was uploaded only under Additional Notice and Orders on GST portal without separate intimation and assessee consequently could not respond within prescribed time, dismissal of appeal under section 107 solely on limitation without examining merits was held unsustainable and appellate order was quashed with direction to admit appeal and decide matter on merits after hearing
Rajasthan High Court
Where order was uploaded only on GST portal without any manual service or personal hearing, and assessee became aware of recovery only after bank placed lien, limitation did not begin from portal upload without acknowledgement, so delay in filing appeal was condonable as reasons were beyond assessee's control, and Appellate Authority was to hear appeal on merits
Gujarat High Court
Where refund was rejected, rectification sought within statutory period was disposed by a reasoned order, and appeal was filed against both rejection and rectification, limitation for appeal must be computed from rectification order and not from earlier rejection, thus, appellate authority erred in treating appeal as time- barred based on original order and matter was liable for decision on merits
Rajasthan High Court
Where assessee filed statutory appeal after inordinate delay contending non- service of order as it was only uploaded on GST portal and became aware only upon bank account attachment, writ jurisdiction permitted condonation since delay arose from factors beyond control and denying appeal on merits would cause grave prejudice, so delay in filing was condoned and matter remitted for hearing subject to pre-deposit conditions
Rajasthan High Court
Where tax, interest and penalty were confirmed by Order-in-Original and rectification was rejected without granting hearing, but statutory appeal remedy before Appellate Authority existed, writ petition challenging impugned orders and seeking unblocking was not entertained, and petitioner was directed to avail appellate remedy, with assurance that appeal would be considered on merits without limitation objection
Karnataka High Court
Where petitioner filed statutory appeal with delay due to pendency of rectification and personal exigency and appeal was dismissed as time-barred, considering contest to levy and specific factual circumstances, delay was to be condoned and statutory appeal was to be restored for decision on merits after hearing
Rajasthan High Court
Where petitioner's GST registration was cancelled due to non-filing of returns for six months and appeal was dismissed solely on ground of delay, since petitioner was uneducated, relied on accountant or advocate, and was genuinely unaware of cancellation, order dismissing appeal was set aside and appellate authority was directed to consider appeal on merits subject to statutory deposits
Bombay High Court
Where assessee challenged order-in-original citing non-supply of relied-upon documents despite records showing proper service via registered and alternate emails, and no specific missing document or resultant prejudice was pleaded, with statutory appeal remedy available and no exceptional circumstances shown, writ under Article 226 was not maintainable and only statutory appellate route could be pursued
Gujarat High Court
Where petitioner’s appeal against order under section 74 was filed after limitation but within cutoff prescribed by Notification No. 53/2023 and payment condition was satisfied, notification applied to appeals pending or rejected for delay, so appellate authority erred in declining to entertain appeal, and rejection order was quashed with remand for decision on merits
Delhi High Court
Where petitioner challenged SCN and order-in-original alleging tax not paid and fraud-related demand under CGST after being heard and afforded detailed adjudication, existence of effective statutory appellate remedy before Appellate Authority meant writ could not be entertained, and questions of fact or competing statutory provisions including period-specific applicability were to be decided in statutory appeal
GSTAT Hyderabad
Where penalty was imposed for alleged fake invoicing without supply and all proceedings including show cause notice, order-in-original and appellate order arose prior to 01.10.2025, no pre-deposit was required for appeal before GSTAT as proviso mandating pre-deposit for penalty-only appeals came into effect prospectively from 01.10.2025 via Finance Act, 2025
