SGST High Court Cases

GST - Maintainability of Writ Petition - Sections 107, 73(9) of CGST Act, 2017 - Order passed under Section 73(9) of the CGST Act for the financial year 2017-18, whereby tax, interest, and penalty were determined and confirmed based on the difference in outward supplies and alleged ITC mismatch between GSTR-3B and GSTR-2A - Whether the impugned order under Section 73(9) of the Act reflects proper consideration of reconciliation and opportunity – HELD - The existence of an alternative remedy under Section 107 does not bar the exercise of writ jurisdiction where principles of natural justice are violated, the order is passed mechanically, a jurisdictional error is apparent, and foundational procedural safeguards are ignored - The dispute related to the reconciliation of ITC during the initial GST implementation year, and the impugned order is largely based on a portal mismatch without detailed discussion of reconciliation documents - The denial of ITC solely on GSTR-2A mismatch without verifying supplies compliance and the book of accounts would defeat the scheme of GST. The adjudication must be based on an independent examination of the purchase register, tax invoices, supply status, and reconciliation statements, which was not reflected in the impugned order - The impugned order is set aside and matter remitted to the respondent authority for fresh adjudication after affording a personal hearing and considering the reconciliation under under Circular No.183/15/22-GST - The writ petition is partly allowed
