HC held that a registered assessee who committed a technical error in filing GST TRAN-1 cannot be denied transitional tax credit. The court emphasized that procedural technicalities should not deprive an eligible taxpayer of legitimate tax benefits. Relying on SC precedents, the court directed the tax authorities to facilitate revision of the GST TRAN-1 form, recognizing the indefeasible nature of input tax credits. The writ appeal was dismissed, upholding the Single Judge's order that allows the taxpayer to rectify the inadvertent error in the transitional credit form.
