Petitioner filed a writ under Article 226 seeking direction to cancel GST registration No. 07ALPPG8615H2ZT w.e.f. 2 January 2025. Petitioner closed business and applied for cancellation on 2 January 2025 (application AA070125001729F). The GST Department sought information on 20 February 2025; petitioner replied on 21 February 2025, but cancellation remained unprocessed and no further notices were received. The Court, observing the respondent's undertaking to act, directed that "the application for cancellation of the GST registration of the Petitioner be processed within a period of four weeks from today and the order be passed in any case latest by 30th September, 2025." Petition disposed of accordingly; pending applications, if any, are also disposed of.
