Tax Recovery Halted as Tribunal Absence Invalidates Proceedings Under Bihar GST Act, Relief Granted with Conditional 20% Deposit
HC granted relief to petitioner challenging tax recovery due to non-constitution of Tribunal under Bihar GST Act. Court allowed stay of tax recovery upon 20% deposit and directed petitioner to file appeal once Tribunal is constituted. If appeal is not filed within specified period, tax authorities can proceed with recovery proceedings as per law.
Issues involved: The issues involved in the judgment are the non-constitution of the Tribunal under the Bihar Goods and Services Tax Act, hindering the petitioner's statutory remedy of appeal and stay of recovery of tax.
Non-constitution of Tribunal: The petitioner sought relief under Article 226 due to the non-constitution of the Tribunal, preventing the availing of statutory remedy of appeal under Section 112 of the B.G.S.T. Act. The respondent State authorities acknowledged this fact and issued a notification for removal of difficulties, stating that the period of limitation for appealing before the Tribunal shall start only after the Tribunal is constituted. The Court disposed of the petition by granting the petitioner the benefit of stay upon deposit of a sum equal to 20 percent of the remaining tax amount, emphasizing that the petitioner should not be deprived of this benefit due to the non-constitution of the Tribunal.
Statutory relief of stay: The Court held that the statutory relief of stay, upon deposit of the required amount, cannot be open-ended. It was decided that the petitioner must file an appeal under Section 112 of the B.G.S.T. Act once the Tribunal is constituted and functional. The appeal should be filed in accordance with statutory requirements after the Tribunal comes into existence, ensuring the appeal's consideration.
Failure to file appeal: If the petitioner chooses not to file an appeal under Section 112 of the B.G.S.T. Act within the specified period after the Tribunal's constitution, the respondent authorities are permitted to proceed further in the matter according to the law. The judgment concluded by disposing of the writ petition with the mentioned directions and observations, providing the petitioner with the necessary guidance for availing the statutory remedy of appeal.
