Delayed GST Appeal Petition Rejected: Extraordinary Jurisdiction Denied Due to Procedural Lapses and Available Alternate Remedies
HC dismissed writ petition challenging an appellate order due to delayed filing beyond statutory and pandemic-extended timelines. The court held that extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 cannot be invoked when alternate remedies exist and the petitioner failed to diligently pursue timely appeal filing as per GST Act provisions.
Issues involved: The issue involves the rejection of a writ petition against an appellate order on the ground of delay in filing the appeal.
Details of the Judgment: The appellate order cited Section 107 of the Bihar Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, allowing appeals to be filed within three months with the option for delay condonation within a further one month. The order also considered the Supreme Court's extension of limitation due to the pandemic situation, allowing appeals to be filed within ninety days from a specified date. Despite these provisions, the petitioner failed to file the appeal within the extended timeline. The Court noted that the extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 should not be invoked when alternate remedies are available, and the petitioner did not diligently avail such remedies within the prescribed time. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed.
