Judiciary and Counsel Details

    • G.S. Kulkarni & Jitendra Jain, JJ.
    • Bharat Raichandani & Prathamesh Gorgate, Advs. for the Petitioner.

Facts of the Case

In the present petition, the petitioner challenged the decision of Appellate Authority which upheld the order of rejection of revocation of cancellation and order of cancellation of registration. The petitioner contended that the GST Tribunal had not been constituted and the cancellation of the registration was affecting the business of the petitioner.

It was submitted by the department that the appeal was rejected since the petitioner had not provided proof of pre-deposit and didn’t file certified copy of order-in-original.

High Court Held

The Honorable High Court noted that justice can’t be denied for failure to comply with procedure without giving an opportunity to appellant to rectify procedural defects. In the present case, the Commissioner (Appeal) ought to have issued a defect memo to produce proof and submit required documents and would give adequate opportunity to petitioner for rectify.

Therefore, it was held that order rejecting appeal was liable to set aside and appeal was directed to be restored. The Court also directed Commissioner (Appeal) to issue a defect memo to the petitioner pointing out the procedural defect in the appeal and would give adequate opportunity for rectifying the same.
