Sri Daakshyaani Energy Solutions vs. The State Of Andhra Pradesh
Held
The High Court held that, by virtue of Section 62(2) of the GST Act, the assessment orders were deemed to have been withdrawn since the petitioner had subsequently filed the returns and cleared all dues. Therefore, the respondents could not take any recovery steps based on these orders.
Facts

Key Issues
Whether best judgment assessment orders passed under Section 62 of the GST Act are automatically withdrawn upon the subsequent filing of returns and payment of all due taxes, interest, and late fees, as stipulated by Section 62(2).
