Issues: Whether the petitioner's grievance regarding inability to upload FORM TRAN-1 due to technical glitches required judicial relief, or whether the petitioner should be relegated to the grievance redressal mechanism under the GST transitional framework.
Analysis: Rule 117 of the Chhattisgarh Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 prescribed the mechanism for filing FORM TRAN-1 as a transitional measure. The circular issued on 3 April 2018 provided a structured process for resolving stuck TRAN-1 forms through identification of affected taxpayers, appointment of nodal officers, and completion of the filing process within the prescribed timeline. Since a complete procedure had already been notified for redressal of grievances arising from technical glitches on the GST portal, and nodal officers had been appointed by the State authorities, the petitioner's grievance could be dealt with through that mechanism.
Conclusion: The petitioner was directed to approach the nodal officer with a representation and supporting documents, and the authority was required to consider the grievance in accordance with the prescribed procedure.
Final Conclusion: The writ petition was not decided on the merits of the claimed credit, but was disposed of by directing recourse to the statutory and administrative grievance-redressal process for TRAN-1 filing difficulties.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a statutory transitional filing grievance is covered by an established administrative redressal mechanism, the court may direct the taxpayer to pursue that mechanism instead of granting immediate writ relief.
