Csg Fitness Private Limited vs. State Of Punjab And Ors
Facts
The petitioner, CSG Fitness Private Limited, filed a writ petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging the validity of service of a notice and an order-in-original. The petitioner contended that uploading these documents on the GST portal under the tab 'View Additional Notices and Orders' did not constitute proper service. The tax period and the specific amount in dispute are not explicitly stated in the provided text. The procedural history involves the petitioner filing this writ petition, which the Court considered in light of previous judgments.
Held
The Court held that the issue raised in the present writ petition is squarely covered by previous judgments of the High Court. Specifically, the Court referred to its decision in CWP-27139-2026, Luxmi Traders v. Union Territory of Chandigarh and Others, and the further clarification in CWP-15601-2026, The Amar Cooperative LC Society Ltd. v. State of Haryana and Others. The reasoning is that these prior judgments have already concluded the question of whether uploading notices and orders on the GST portal amounts to proper service under Section 169 of the CGST Act, 2017. The ratio decidendi is that the aforementioned judgments have settled the law on this point. Consequently, the instant writ petition was disposed of in the same terms as the previous judgments.
Key Issues
1. Whether uploading of a notice and an order-in-original on the common portal, www.gst.gov.in, under the tab ‘View Additional Notices and Orders’, amounts to proper service in view of Section 169 read with Section 146 of the Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017? The petitioner argued that such an upload does not constitute proper service. The revenue, represented by the State of Punjab and Others, contended that the issue is no longer res integra and has been decided by previous judgments of the High Court. They relied on the Court's own pronouncements in similar matters.
