Facts of the Case
The GST registration of petitioner was cancelled on account of non-filing of returns and it requested for revocation of cancellation of registration. It submitted that it had provided all details with the part time accountant for filing of GST returns but the accountant was admitted to hospital for medical treatment and he didn’t furnish returns. However, the request for revocation of cancellation of registration was rejected on ground that it was time-barred. It filed writ petition seeking revocation of registration.
High Court Held

Therefore, by keeping in mind observations of Court in case of Tvl. Suguna Cutpiece Center [2022] 135 taxmann.com 234 (Madras), the directed the department to revoke cancellation of registration and allowed the petition subject to payment of tax & penalty and filing of returns.
