Habeeb Rahman vs. State Of Kerala
Held
The High Court set aside the impugned order. It directed the 6th respondent to pass fresh orders, specifically considering the verification report from the Central GST Authorities which confirmed the petitioner's eligibility for most of the claimed transitional credit.
Facts
The petitioner challenged an order denying transitional credit claimed under Section 140(3) of the CGST/KSGST Act via a GST TRAN 1 declaration. Central GST Authorities later verified the claim, finding the petitioner eligible for a substantial portion of the ITC.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was the petitioner's eligibility for transitional credit claimed through GST TRAN 1 and the proper consideration of verification reports by tax authorities in determining such eligibility.
