M/S Kalivahan Tyres LLP vs. Union Of INDIA
Held
The Court noted that an order had been passed by the Competent Authority in terms of Rule 159(5) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017. In light of this development, the Court granted liberty to the petitioners to challenge the said order by taking recourse to the available legal remedies if their grievance was not completely redressed. The Court did not delve into the merits of the original grievance or the specifics of the order passed under Rule 159(5). The operative direction was to dispose of the writ petition with the liberty granted to the petitioners. No specific issue was expressly left undecided, as the petition was disposed of based on a subsequent event.
