High-Stakes Legal Challenge: Constitutional Validity of Section 16(2)(c) Questioned in Landmark Petition Seeking Judicial Review
HC issued notice to AG challenging constitutional validity of Section 16(2)(c) of Central GST Act, 2017. Petition recognized as significant statutory challenge. Court ordered notice, directed respondents to file counter affidavits, and stayed further proceedings until next hearing date.
The Allahabad High Court, through Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and Judge J.J. Munir, addressed a petition challenging the vires of Section 16(2)(c) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. The petition, represented by Senior Advocate V.K. Upadhya, contests the constitutional validity of this provision, which is simultaneously under scrutiny before nine other High Courts. Recognizing the significance of the challenge to a Central Statute, the Court ordered issuance of notice to the Attorney General of India. Respondents were granted time to file counter affidavits, and further proceedings pursuant to the notice dated October 20, 2022, were stayed until the next hearing scheduled for March 27, 2023.
