Judgement Date | 08-February-2021 |
The present case arises from a writ-application under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, where the writ-applicant has sought several reliefs from the court. These reliefs include, firstly, a plea to direct the respondent no.1 to condone the delay and permit the petitioner to be heard on merits. Secondly, an alternative request to allow revocation of the cancellation of registration is made. Additionally, pending the admission, hearing, and final disposal of this petition, the applicant seeks grant of ad interim relief. The prayer also extends to any other relief deemed just and proper in the interest of justice. Lastly, the applicant seeks the award of costs and incidental expenses related to this application.
The application underscores the importance of timely incorporation of necessary amendments, signaling a willingness to accommodate any such amendments at the earliest convenience. This emphasizes the urgency and seriousness with which the matter is being pursued.
The primary focus of the application is on seeking remedies for the perceived injustice suffered by the petitioner. The prayer to condone the delay and allow the petitioner to be heard on merits suggests a desire for fair treatment and a chance to present their case adequately. The alternative plea for revocation of the cancellation of registration reflects the petitioner’s contention that the cancellation was unwarranted or unjust, and therefore seeks redressal through legal means.
The request for ad interim relief underscores the immediate need for action to mitigate any ongoing harm or loss suffered by the petitioner pending the final resolution of the matter. This indicates the urgency and gravity of the situation as perceived by the applicant.
Moreover, the plea for any other relief deemed just and proper demonstrates the broad scope of the applicant’s concerns and the desire for comprehensive resolution of the issues at hand. This suggests a willingness to engage with the court in a constructive manner to ensure that justice is served.
Overall, the writ-application presents a multifaceted approach to seeking legal remedies, combining requests for specific reliefs with a broader call for justice and fairness. It reflects the applicant’s determination to pursue all available legal avenues to address the perceived injustices and secure a favorable outcome.

The case involves a petitioner seeking resolution for a controversy related to the transfer of Input Tax Credit (ITC) under the Gujarat Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. The petitioner is encouraged to seek an amicable solution by approaching the respondent authorities for the transfer of ITC according to Section 18 of the Act, along with relevant rules. Alternatively, the petitioner can also seek recourse under Section 54 of the Act.
There’s a concern raised regarding potential functionality issues arising from the transfer of ITC to the petitioner’s existing GSTIN number, as the statutory deadline for such action has already passed. To address this, technical assistance from the Goods and Service Tax Network (GSTN) may be required, prompting the court to potentially issue a directive to GSTN for the necessary technical support.
During the court proceedings, both the petitioner’s counsel and the State’s counsel presented their arguments, along with representation from GSTN. It’s noted that the respondents are willing to resolve the matter in accordance with the suggested approach outlined in their response. The petitioner is instructed to engage with the relevant authorities for the transfer of ITC as per the provisions of the Act and associated rules, with the option to pursue alternative avenues under Section 54 if deemed necessary.
Importantly, it’s highlighted that the transfer process may take some time, and technical assistance from GSTN might be required to facilitate it effectively.
