The HC held that the 60-day limitation period under Section 62(2) of the GST Act is directory rather than mandatory. Where a registered person fails to file returns within the prescribed timeframe, resulting in best judgment assessment orders, the right to file returns cannot be denied merely because the 60-day period has elapsed. If the taxpayer demonstrates valid reasons beyond their control for the delay, such delay can be condoned upon application. The petitioner was directed to file a delay condonation application within 15 days, which the second respondent must consider on merits before permitting revised returns. The petition was accordingly disposed of.
