M/S. Niyati Construction Company vs. Union Of INDIA
Held
The Court noted that the validity aspect concerning Sections 16(5) and 16(6) of the GST Act had been settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in Civil Appeal No.2948 of 2023. The parties jointly informed the Court about a new notification issued on 27.09.2024 and a subsequent circular that clarified certain issues related to the implementation of these sections. In light of these developments, the Court permitted the petitioners to pursue their remaining issues with the respondents. The reasoning was that the legal landscape had evolved with the Supreme Court's decision and the issuance of new notifications and circulars, allowing for a fresh consideration of the petitioners' grievances under the prevailing law. The Court did not decide the remaining issues on merits but allowed the petitioners to raise them before the appropriate authorities.
