The HC held that, upon approval of the resolution plan on 17.03.2023, all tax liabilities of the corporate debtor for the pre-approval period stood waived and extinguished, rendering the petitioner not liable for the disputed ineligible input tax credit and any failure to declare tax for FY 2020-21. Relying on Supreme Court authority that successful resolution applicants must not be confronted with undecided claims post-approval, the court found no jurisdiction for respondents to issue the impugned notices and show-cause communications. Consequently the impugned orders and SCNs were set aside and the petition was allowed, relieving the petitioner of the contested pre-approval tax obligations.
