The High Court set aside the order cancelling the petitioner's registration under the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and the West Bengal Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, subject to the condition that the petitioner files returns for the entire period of default and pays the requisite amount of tax, interest, fine, and penalty, if not already paid. The cancellation was due to the petitioner's failure to comply with statutory provisions by not filing returns, but the Court noted that suspension/revocation would be counterproductive and against revenue interests as it would prevent the petitioner from carrying on business and raising invoices, ultimately impacting tax recovery. The Court took a pragmatic view, considering that the respondents did not allege dubious processes to evade tax.
