Dual Tax Notices Challenged: Jurisdictional Dispute Paused as State Granted Time to Respond Under JGST Act Section
HC addressed a jurisdictional challenge regarding two show-cause notices issued under JGST Act for the same tax period. The court granted the state three weeks to file a counter affidavit and stayed further proceedings related to the notices. The petitioner argued the notices were improper due to prior adjudication, while the court scheduled the next hearing to review the jurisdictional dispute comprehensively.
Issues: Jurisdictional challenge regarding issuance of show-cause notices by two different authorities for the same subject matter.
The judgment delivered by the High Court dealt with a jurisdictional challenge raised by the petitioner regarding the issuance of two show-cause notices by different authorities for the same subject matter. The petitioner contended that the notices, issued under Section 73 of the JGST Act, 2017, for the tax period April 2019-March 2020, were improper as there had already been an adjudication by the Appellate Authority against a previous order. The petitioner argued that since the Department had not appealed against the Appellate order, it had accepted the decision, and there was no pending demand. The petitioner claimed that the issuance of the impugned notices by two authorities for the same subject matter was without jurisdiction and contrary to Section 112(3) of the JGST Act, 2017.
The State's counsel requested and was granted three weeks to obtain instructions and file a counter affidavit. Subsequently, the petitioner was given one week to file a reply if necessary. Meanwhile, the court ordered a stay on further proceedings related to the show-cause notices issued by the two authorities until the matter was resolved. The case was listed for the next hearing on 29th March 2023. The court's decision to stay the proceedings indicated a cautious approach to prevent any potential harm or prejudice to the petitioner during the ongoing legal process. The timeline provided for the submission of counter affidavits and replies ensured a fair opportunity for both parties to present their arguments effectively before the court. The listing of the case for a future date demonstrated the court's commitment to addressing the jurisdictional challenge thoroughly and reaching a just resolution based on the legal arguments presented.
