of <h1>Telangana HC dismisses petition seeking stay of GST proceedings under Rule 129 of CGST Rules 2017</h1> <h3>M/s. Vishwanath Cinema Hall 70 MM Versus Union of India and 2 Others</h3> M/s. Vishwanath Cinema Hall 70 MM Versus Union of India and 2 Others - 2024 (81) G. S. T. L. 229 (Telangana) Issues:The judgment involves a challenge to a notice issued under Rule 129 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017, and a summons by the Directorate General of Anti-Profiteering, now pursued by the Competition Commission of India.Summary:The petitioner filed a Writ Petition seeking a Writ of Mandamus challenging the notice and summons issued under the CGST Act, 2017. The notice alleged that the petitioner did not pass on the benefit of a tax reduction to consumers, contravening Section 71 of the Act. The petitioner was required to provide an explanation and appear before authorities, which the petitioner argued was challenging due to fixed ticket prices set by the government and variations in cinema categories.The respondent contended that the petitioner's defenses could be raised in their response to the notice and summons, and if a convincing reply was provided, proceedings could be dropped. The petitioner also raised concerns about the physical appearance requirement in New Delhi, causing inconvenience and economic burden. The Court noted that the notice and summons called for the petitioner to appear and produce relevant documents, citing Supreme Court precedents that a writ petition should not be entertained against a mere show-cause notice.The Court held that the petitioner had not made a strong case for challenging the notice and summons, directing them to enter appearance and submit a detailed reply. It was also directed that the Competition Commission of India should allow virtual appearances to reduce economic hardship. The Writ Petitions were disposed of with no order as to costs, and any pending miscellaneous petitions were closed.
