Tikona Infinet Private Limited vs. The State Of Andhra Pradesh
Held
The High Court held that challenging a show cause notice at this stage is premature as the petitioner has an opportunity to present objections and evidence before the authority. The court found no grounds to entertain the challenge to the notice itself.
Facts
The petitioner sought to declare a show cause notice illegal, arguing that Input Tax Credit (ITC) could not be denied due to manual transfer of ITC when electronic filing of Form GST-ITC 02 was unavailable. The petitioner had manually informed the authorities about the transfer of business and ITC.
Key Issues
Whether a writ petition challenging a show cause notice is maintainable when statutory remedies are available. Whether ITC can be denied solely on the basis of manual transfer when electronic filing was not feasible.
