M/S. Cjn Hitech Motors Private Limited vs. Assistant Commissioner (State Tax)
Held
The High Court disposed of the writ petitions, granting the petitioners liberty to file a second appeal before the Tribunal under Section 112 of the GST Act, 2017 within eight weeks. Any interim directions previously granted were extended for twelve weeks to protect the petitioners.
Facts
The petitioner challenged appellate orders issued by the Joint Commissioner ST for the tax periods 2018-19 and 2019-20 under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and Andhra Pradesh State Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. The writ petitions sought to quash these impugned orders.
Key Issues
The primary legal issue was whether the High Court should quash the appellate orders or direct the petitioners to pursue the statutory remedy of a second appeal before the Tribunal.
