M/S Impressive Management Solutions PVT LTD vs. The Assistant Commissioner Of Central Goods And Services Tax

Held

The Court held that the writ petition had become infructuous. This decision was based on the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. The counsel stated that the interest amount on the refund had been paid. Consequently, the Court found no further necessity to adjudicate the matter. The reasoning is straightforward: if the underlying issue that prompted the legal challenge has been resolved by the payment of the disputed amount (in this case, interest on refund), the petition loses its purpose. The operative direction was to dispose of the writ petition as infructuous. No specific sections of the GST Act or Rules were discussed or relied upon in this brief order.
