Palakkal Meethale Jayakrishnan vs. The Superintendent
Held
The High Court, relying on its previous judgment, held that the Supreme Court's Suo Motu order extending limitation periods applied to Section 30 of the CGST Act. It directed the respondent to consider the petitioner's application for revocation as filed within the extended time limit and pass orders accordingly.
Facts
The petitioner's GST registration was cancelled, and his application for revocation of this cancellation was rejected, with an advice to file an appeal. He contended that his revocation application, filed almost a year after cancellation, was within the extended limitation period due to the Supreme Court's Suo Motu order.
Key Issues
Whether the Supreme Court's Suo Motu order extending limitation periods applied to the time limit for filing an application for revocation of GST registration under Section 30 of the CGST Act.
