Held

The provided text only contains the case headers and a list of exhibits for multiple connected writ petitions. It does not include the body of the judgment, which would detail the Court's reasoning and decision. Therefore, the specific holding of the Court cannot be ascertained from the given information.

Facts

The petitioners, various hotels and resorts, challenged assessment orders issued by the State Goods and Service Tax Department for the assessment year 2020-2021. The dispute appears to involve the applicability of certain Government Orders (GO(MS) NO. 41/2020 TD and SRO NO. 297/2022) and a cabinet decision, leading to revenue recovery notices.

Key Issues

The key legal issues likely concern the validity and applicability of the assessment orders for AY 2020-2021, particularly in light of Government Orders GO(MS) NO. 41/2020 TD and SRO NO. 297/2022, and whether the revenue recovery notices are sustainable.
