The HC dismissed the appeal, holding the writ petition challenging the assessment order and subsequent suo motu rectification (with imposition of penalty) to be not maintainable because an efficacious statutory remedy exists under s.107 of the GST Act. Although the writ court noted defects in rectification proceedings concerning natural justice, the HC found that all legal and factual grievances arising from the assessment and rectification can be effectively ventilated before the appellate authority under s.107. The appellant was granted liberty to pursue the statutory appeal; consequently the writ relief was refused and the Single Judge's dismissal affirmed, with no interference in the impugned orders.
