WA.No.378 OF 2019 2 JUDGMENT K. Vinod Chandran, J. The appellant was before this Court claiming that denial of inclusion of H Oil in their CST Certificate for grant of permission to purchase it against C-Form is without hearing them. The learned Single Judge found that even going by the impugned order it is very evident that the appellant was afforded an opportunity for hearing and it is after that, the order was passed. Then the appellant raised a contention that Ext.P7 covers the issue. The learned Single Judge found that Ext.P7 decision of the Division Bench can be urged before the appellate forum. The petitioner had challenged the interim order only on the ground of violation of principles of natural justice, which has been found against it.

2.

We do not find any infirmity in the order of the learned Single Judge. We understand that the period for appeal has long expired. In such circumstances, the appellant is granted a

WA.No.378 OF 2019 3 month's time from today to file an appeal before the appropriate authority, which officer will now be notified under the GST Act, but, however, would also be entitled to consider the appeals under KVAT Act regime. If an appeal is filed within a period of one month, definitely, the same would be considered on merits. The appellant would also be entitled to urge and place Ext.P7 before the appellate authority. The appellate authority shall ensure that the appeal is disposed of expeditiously. The Writ Appeal is disposed of accordingly. There is no order as to costs.
