Review plea against GST proceedings under Sections 74 and 37 of CGST Act dismissed for lack of merit
SC considered a review petition challenging an HC order upholding proceedings under Section 74 of the CGST Act, 2017 for failure to pay GST and file returns within time, and alleged contravention of Section 37. The petitioner contended absence of suppression of facts and questioned applicability of penalty provisions. SC found no error apparent or sufficient ground to reopen the HC decision and held that there was no reason to interfere with the impugned order. The review petition was found devoid of merit and was dismissed.
The Supreme Court, in exercise of its review jurisdiction, considered a review petition along with connected papers arising from an earlier order. An application seeking "oral hearing" in the review matter was specifically rejected. The Court then addressed the issue of limitation, stating that the "delay [is] condoned," thereby permitting the review to be examined on merits. Upon such examination, the Court held that there was "no merit in the review petition" and accordingly ordered that "the same is, [sic] dismissed." It further directed that all "pending interlocutory application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of," thereby concluding all ancillary proceedings connected to the review.
