Held

The provided text is only the introductory part and the appendix listing exhibits for several connected cases. The actual body of the judgment, containing the Court's reasoning and decision, is omitted. Therefore, it is not possible to determine what the Court decided.

Facts

Multiple hotels and resorts filed writ petitions challenging assessment orders and subsequent revenue recovery notices issued for the assessment year 2020-2021. The challenges appear to relate to the applicability and interpretation of Government Orders GO(MS) No. 41/2020 TD and SRO No. 297/2022, along with related budget speeches and cabinet decisions.

Key Issues

The key legal issues likely concern the validity and interpretation of Government Order GO(MS) No. 41/2020 TD and SRO No. 297/2022, and their impact on the GST liability of hotels and resorts for the assessment year 2020-2021, leading to the impugned assessment orders and revenue recovery proceedings.
