HC adjudicated a GST dispute involving retrospective cancellation of suppliers' registrations and input tax credit reversal. The court found the respondents' invocation of Section 168A to extend order-passing timelines under Section 73(9) was procedurally valid. Despite petitioner's argument of no force majeure conditions and challenging the notifications, the court noted the petitioner had disclosed invoices, ledgers, and e-way bills demonstrating good faith transactions. The court partially acknowledged the petitioner's submissions, particularly regarding acceptance of explanations for two suppliers. The matter was adjourned until 28th April, 2025, with the impugned order remained stayed pending further judicial review.
