This restoration was sought in terms of an order dated 28.05.2024 passed by the Appellate Authority. The respondents' counsel stated that the said order was with the Review Branch. The High Court noted that the petition lacked crucial details regarding the proceedings leading to the Appellate Authority's order, the grounds for the cancellation of the petitioner's GST registration, the order of the Adjudicating Authority, and the appeal filed by the petitioner against that order.

The Court found the petition to be bereft of essential details, including the grounds for cancellation of the petitioner's GST registration, the order passed by the Adjudicating Authority, and the appeal filed by the petitioner. Without these material particulars, the Court could not proceed to issue directions for the restoration of the GST registration as sought by the petitioner.
