HC directs GST Council to consider granting extended time period for filing appeal for order passed under Section 129 and 130 of CGST Act

Extension of appeal period urged for detention and confiscation orders, seeking parity with assessment-related appeal relief. High Court directed the revenue to consider the petitioner's submission that the temporal relief under Notification No. 53/2023, which extended the appeal filing period for assessment-related orders, should be extended to appeals against detention and confiscation orders and allied provisions, asking the GST Council/Respondent to examine applicability of the notification to those orders.
