Court grants interim relief in GST base price computation case, stays penalty proceedings.
The court granted interim relief to the petitioner in a case concerning the computation of base price and profiteered amount under GST regulations. The court found that the petitioner had made a strong case, highlighting discrepancies in the calculation method used by the respondents. Consequently, the court stayed the operation of the impugned order and directed no penalty proceedings against the petitioner until the next hearing. Mr. Vipin Sanghi and Mr. Sanjeev Narula JJ delivered the judgment, granting exemption to the petitioner and issuing notice to the respondents for further proceedings.
Issues: Grant of interim relief regarding computation of base price and profiteered amount under GST.
In the judgment, the court heard arguments from both the petitioner's senior counsel and the respondent's counsel regarding the grant of interim relief. The petitioner's counsel argued that the respondents had acted unreasonably by changing the method of computing the base price before and after the reduction of GST rates. The petitioner presented evidence showing that prices had actually fallen for some items after the GST rate reduction to nil, but these cases were excluded from consideration in the profiteered amount calculation. The court found that the impugned order required further consideration and that the petitioner had made a strong case for interim relief. Consequently, the court stayed the operation of the impugned order until the next hearing date and directed that no penalty proceedings be initiated against the petitioner in the meantime.
The court granted exemption to the petitioner, subject to all just exceptions, in a separate application. In another application, the court issued notice to the respondents, who accepted the notice. The court directed the filing of a counter-affidavit within six weeks and a rejoinder before the next hearing date.
The judgment was delivered by Mr. Vipin Sanghi and Mr. Sanjeev Narula JJ. The court's decision to grant interim relief was based on the petitioner's argument that the respondents had acted unreasonably in computing the base price and profiteered amount under GST regulations. The court found merit in the petitioner's case and stayed the operation of the impugned order until the next hearing.
