Facts of the Case
The petitioner filed the appeal against refund rejection order within the prescribed time limit but it failed to submit physical copy of impugned order within 7 days as required under Rule 108(3) of CGST Rules, 2017. The Appellate Authority did not process the appeal due to non-filing of physical copies. It filed writ petition to direct the Appellate Authority to accept the appeal.
High Court Held
The Honorable High Court noted that the appeals were filed within time limit prescribed by statute and non-production of hard copy of impugned order was only a technical defect. Therefore, the Court directed the Appellate Authority to process the appeal by treating date of filing on portal as date of filing, provided appeal was filed within prescribed time limit.
