Facts of the Case
The petitioner was a street vendor and he was desirous of obtaining a GST registration in respect of his business carried out from the stall. However, in the process of applying GST registration, he became aware that GST registration had been obtained using his name without his knowledge and unknown person has been filing return.
In this context, a complaint was filed with police and it was stated as pending. It filed writ petition for the suspension of fake GST registration which had fraudulently been taken in his name, with immediate effect.
High Court Held
The Honorable High Court observed that the petitioner had handed over his Aadhar and PAN card to one of his friends to obtain loan but such averments can’t be accepted at face value and required to be properly examined. Therefore, the Court directed to treat this petition as representation by State GST authorities and grievance would be examined. The Court also directed the petitioner to disclose identity of his friend to police and State GST authorities.
