The Central Government issued the Central Goods and Services Tax (Ninth Removal of Difficulties) Order, 2019, extending the period of limitation for filing a second appeal before the Tribunal. However, the Tribunal has not been constituted despite the enactment of the CGST Act in 2017, creating a situation where dealers are denied a legal remedy.4. The delay in constituting the Tribunal has led to dealers approaching the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for relief. The Court has requested the assistance of legal counsel to address the issue of non-constitution of the Tribunal, highlighting the failure of the Government to fulfill its statutory function.5. The Court has directed the respondents to file a counter affidavit within three weeks and allowed the petitioner to file a rejoinder affidavit thereafter. The case is scheduled for further hearing, emphasizing the importance of addressing the delay in constituting the Tribunal and ensuring timely access to legal remedies for taxpayers.
