Interim stay extended on balance recovery despite deposit. Court deems time limit directory.

The Delhi HC extended the interim stay on recovering a balance amount from the petitioner despite a substantial deposit. The order does not hinder the National Anti Profiteering Authority's actions. The court observed the six-month limitation for the authority's order as directory due to lack of consequences for non-compliance in the CGST Act or rules. Next hearing set for 20.05.2020.

The Delhi High Court issued an order to continue the interim stay on the recovery of a balance amount from the petitioner, who had already deposited a significant sum. The court clarified that the interim order would not prevent the National Anti Profiteering Authority from taking action. Additionally, the court noted that the six-month limitation for the authority to make its order appears to be directory as no consequences for non-adherence are specified in the CGST Act or rules. The next hearing is scheduled for 20.05.2020.
