Facts of the Case
The petitioner was engaged in the business of manufacturing and trading of electrical goods.

He filed writ petition seeking refund of ITC as he was compelled to reverse ITC.
High Court Held
The Honorable High Court noted that the petitioner had filed FORM GST DRC-03 but there was no acknowledgement of receipt by the Department by issuing FORM GST DRC-04. Also, the petitioner had filed writ petition after one month from recording of statement and same was being retracted.
