Analysis: 1. The petitioner sought a writ of mandamus directing the GST council to extend the time period for filing GST Tran-1 due to the alleged failure of the electronic system to respond on the last filing date. The petitioner expressed concern over potential loss of entitled credit if not allowed to file the complete GST TRAN-1 for necessary transactional credit.

4. The court instructed the learned counsel for the respondents to file a counter affidavit within a month and listed the matter for further hearing on a specified date.
