Solve Plastic Products Private Limited vs. The Union Of INDIA
Held
The High Court dismissed the writ petition, stating that it could not interfere with pending assessment proceedings as the petitioner was preempting the assessing officer's view. It directed the 2nd respondent to expedite and finalize the assessment proceedings within two months, allowing the petitioner to raise all relevant contentions.
Facts
The petitioner sought to revise their GSTR-3B form for August 2017 and file the consequential annual return for 2017-18, while also challenging a circular restricting GSTR-3B revision as ultra vires the CGST Act. The High Court noted that the assessment proceedings were not yet finalized and the petitioner was preempting the issue.
Key Issues
Whether the High Court should intervene to allow revision of GSTR-3B and filing of annual returns, and declare a circular ultra vires, when assessment proceedings are still pending and the petitioner is preempting the outcome.
