GST Exemption Petition for Theme Parks: Court Seeks Government Position on CGST Refund Within Two Weeks
The HC considered a petition seeking 100% GST exemption for sales to Theme Park and Water Park, plus refund of previously paid GST. While the State Government had partially released funds based on High Level Committee recommendations, the Central Government had not responded. The court directed respondents to file affidavits within two weeks stating their position on paying CGST per committee recommendations. The petitioner was permitted to amend prayer clauses and submit the 14th Finance Commission's Report regarding GST sharing between Central and State governments. The matter was scheduled for admission hearing on March 1, 2022.
Issues: 1. Grant of up-front exemption from 100% of Goods and Service Tax on sale of goods to Theme Park and Water Park. 2. Refund of GST already paid by the petitioner. 3. Central Government's response to recommendations made by High Level Committee. 4. Filing of affidavit in reply by respondent nos.1 and 2. 5. Agreement to pay CGST as per recommendations of High Level Committee. 6. Submission of 14th Finance Commission's Report for sharing of GST. 7. Amendment to prayer clause and filing of replies.
Analysis: 1. The petitioner sought an order for exemption from 100% of Goods and Service Tax on goods sold to the Theme Park and Water Park, along with a refund of GST already paid. The State Government had partially released the due amount based on recommendations by a High Level Committee, while the Central Government had not responded or released any amount. The Court directed respondent nos.1 and 2 to file affidavits within two weeks, indicating their stance on paying CGST as per the Committee's recommendations.
2. The State Government had already filed an affidavit in reply, and the Court instructed respondent nos.1 and 2 to serve a copy of their affidavit to the petitioner's counsel simultaneously.

Any rejoinder to be filed by the petitioner should be served on the respondents' advocate within a week.
3. The petitioner was granted liberty to amend the prayer clause within a week, with the amendment also to be provided to the respondents' counsel simultaneously.
