Facts of the Case
The petitioners approached the Orissa High Court to challenge the first appellate orders rejecting their appeals on the grounds of being time-barred under the CGST Act. Further, due to the non-constitution of GST Appellate Tribunal, they were not able to seek alternative remedies under Section 112 of the CGST Act.
In the meantime, during the pendency of their proceedings, the Ministry of Finance issued a Notification No. 53/2023-Central Tax, Dated November 2, 2023, wherein amnesty scheme has been notified outlining a special procedure for filing appeals by taxable persons who were unable to meet the appeal deadline or facing rejection solely based on time limitation. The notification provided new time limit of January 31, 2024 for specified taxpayers subject to certain conditions.
High Court Held
In light of this notification, the court sets aside the impugned orders and remands the matters to the Appellate Authority for further proceedings.
