The HC granted partial relief to the petitioner challenging an order under s.73 of the GST enactments, noting the petitioner had not preferred an appellate remedy but had declared and paid CGST and SGST in the annual return (GSTR-9) prior to the impugned order. The HC quashed the impugned order dated 22.02.2025 and remitted the matter to the respondent for fresh adjudication on merits within three months of receipt of the order. The remand is conditional: the petitioner must comply with the conditions imposed by the court. The petition is disposed of by way of remand, leaving the respondent to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.
