Issues involved:1. Failure to upload FORM GST TRAN-1 within stipulated time due to system error.2. Seeking directions to enable the petitioner to take credit of available input tax.3. Applicability of circular issued by the Government of India for addressing technical glitches on GST Portal.4. Previous instances of technical glitches faced by other taxpayers.5. Permission granted to apply to the Nodal Officer for issue resolution.6. Timelines and procedures for resolving the technical glitch and enabling credit of input tax.The judgment pertains to a registered dealer under the Kerala Value Added Tax Act who migrated to the Goods and Services Tax regime but faced a system error while attempting to upload FORM GST TRAN-1 within the stipulated time to utilize available input tax credit. The petitioner sought directions to enable the credit of the input tax. The Court considered a circular issued by the Government of India establishing an IT Grievance Redressal Mechanism for addressing technical glitches on the GST Portal. The circular outlined procedures for taxpayers to follow in case of demonstrable glitches preventing compliance with due legal processes.In previous instances, not only the petitioner but also other individuals encountered similar technical glitches and approached the Court. The Court had previously allowed petitioners to apply to the additional sixth respondent for issue resolution. Consequently, in this case, the petitioner was directed to apply to the Nodal Officer for resolution. The Nodal Officer was instructed to investigate the issue and facilitate the petitioner's uploading of FORM GST TRAN-1 without considering the time-frame.Moreover, the Court specified that if the petitioner applied within two weeks of receiving the judgment, the Nodal Officer should review the application promptly. If the uploading of FORM GST TRAN-1 was not feasible due to reasons beyond the petitioner's control, the authority was mandated to enable the petitioner to take credit of the input tax available during migration. These directions were issued to dispose of the Writ Petition effectively.
