M/S. Sri Chidaksh Industries vs. Union Of INDIA
Held
The High Court noted that the GST Tribunal for Andhra Pradesh has since been constituted and is functioning. Consequently, it closed the writ petitions, directing the petitioners to approach the Tribunal by way of Second Appeals under Section 112 of the GST Act within eight weeks, and continued interim directions for twelve weeks.
Facts
Petitioners challenged first appellate orders levying 18% GST on job work receipts instead of 5%, along with interest and penalty. They had approached the High Court via writ petitions as the GST Tribunal was not constituted at the time of filing.
Key Issues
Whether the High Court should continue to entertain writ petitions challenging first appellate orders when the statutory appellate remedy before the GST Tribunal has become available.
