Kamal Garden Works vs. The State Of Andhra Pradesh
Held
The High Court closed all writ petitions, directing the petitioners to file Second Appeals before the newly constituted GST Tribunal under Section 112 of the GST Act within eight weeks. Any interim directions granted were continued for twelve weeks.
Facts
Petitioners challenged First Appellate Orders imposing 18% GST on job work receipts instead of 5%, along with interest and penalty, arguing the levy was illegal and contrary to specific GST notifications. These writ petitions were entertained previously due to the non-availability of the GST Tribunal.
Key Issues
The key issue was whether the High Court should continue to entertain writ petitions challenging First Appellate Orders when the alternative statutory remedy of appeal to the GST Tribunal under Section 112 became available.
Sections Cited
Section 107, Section 112, Section 6(2), Section 74, Notification No. 11/2017-CT(Rate), Notification No. 31/2017-CT(Rate)
