M/S Paras Nath Enterprises vs. Union Of INDIA And 3 Others
Held
The High Court allowed the writ petition, following its previous decision in Metro Institutes of Medical Sciences Pvt. Ltd. vs. State of U.P. & 5 others. The Court held that the petitioner is entitled to the relief sought. The reasoning is based on the precedent established in the cited case, which presumably dealt with similar issues of migration difficulties under GST. The operative directions issued by the Court are that the respondents are directed to issue a password to the petitioner company for completing the migration process on the GST Portal. This will enable the petitioner to upload its returns and deposit the due tax. Furthermore, the concerned respondent authority is directed to allow the petitioner to complete the migration to GST upon receipt of the password, in accordance with the law. No issues were expressly left undecided.
