M/S Shreyansh Industries vs. State Of Chhattisgarh
Facts
The petitioners, M/s Power Pack Industries, M/s Rahul Enterprises, and M/s Shreyansh Industries, filed writ petitions before the High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur. The petitions challenged orders or actions taken by various State Tax authorities, including the Assistant Commissioner of State Tax, Circle-2, Durg, and the Joint Commissioner of State Tax (Appeals), Durg. The specific tax periods and amounts in dispute were not detailed in the provided order. The procedural history leading to these writ petitions was not elaborated upon, other than the fact that the petitioners approached the High Court.
Held
The Court held that the petitioners should be permitted to prefer an appeal before the GST Appellate Tribunal, as the Tribunal is now functional. The Court granted permission for the petitioners to file an appeal before the GST Appellate Tribunal within 30 days from the date of the order. The Court further directed that any interim relief that was granted by this Court to the petitioners shall continue to operate for a further period of 30 days from the date of the order. The Court did not decide on the substantive GST issues that might have been raised in the original writ petitions, as the petitions were disposed of based on the prayer to approach the Appellate Tribunal. The specific provisions of the GST Act or Rules that would govern the appeal before the Tribunal were not discussed.
