Issues:Petitioner's complaint of discriminatory action in extending benefits of Notification No. 31 of 2018 for carrying forward CENVAT Credit as transitional credit due to enforcement of Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.Analysis:The petitioner filed a writ petition against the respondent authorities alleging discriminatory action for not extending the benefits of Notification No. 31 of 2018. The petitioner claimed that due to missing to include its Service Tax registration in Part B of Form GST REG-26, it was unable to carry forward the closing balance of CENVAT Credit. The petitioner argued that the denial of benefits under the notification was unjust and discriminatory, as they should be entitled to the same benefits as those who did not file Part B of the form. The Court noted the detailed discussion in the petitioner's representation and acknowledged the delay in addressing the grievance by the Nodal Officer, the respondent no. 5. The Court allowed the respondent authority to address the issue and take necessary steps for disposal of the grievance within six weeks, providing an opportunity for the petitioner or their representative to be heard.This judgment highlights the importance of addressing grievances promptly and ensuring fair treatment in matters of tax benefits and transitional credits under GST regulations. The Court's decision to allow the concerned authority to address the issue and provide a resolution within a specific timeframe emphasizes the need for procedural fairness and adherence to the law in such cases.
