Tax Refund Challenge Rejected: Petitioner Directed to Follow Statutory Appeal Procedure Under Sections 54 and 107
SC dismissed writ petition challenging IGST refund demand. The court found no merit in the petitioner's claim under Section 54 of CGST Act. The authority's order was upheld, and the petitioner was directed to pursue the appeal remedy under Section 107 of the Act, maintaining the established legal procedure for challenging tax determinations.
Issues involved: The writ petition challenging the order confirming the demand of IGST wrongly claimed as refund.
Comprehensive details: The petitioner claimed benefit of Rule 96 (10) of the CGST Rules but was not entitled to it. The petitioner argued that under Section 54 of the CGST Act, it was eligible for the refund. The respondents contended that the show cause notice was issued earlier, and the petitioner did not respond. Despite the rejection of the stay petition, the petitioner did not file a response. The authority passed a detailed order addressing all issues raised by the petitioner, including the entitlement under Section 54 of the Act, which was negated. The court held that the petitioner must question the validity of the determination through the appeal process under Section 107 of the Act.
The court considered the submissions of both parties and reviewed the available material on record. It noted that despite the rejection of the stay petition, the petitioner did not respond to the show cause notice. The court emphasized that the petitioner's entitlement under Section 54 of the Act had already been examined and rejected by the authority in the impugned order. The court concluded that no grounds were established in the writ petition to warrant the invocation of extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, especially considering the availability of the appeal remedy as established in the case law of Godrej Sara Lee Ltd.
Therefore, the court dismissed the writ petition, allowing the petitioner to pursue the remedy of appeal as per the law.
