HC set aside cancellation of petitioner's GST registration and remanded the matter to the proper officer for reconsideration. Observing that non-filing of returns for six months occurred during the Covid-19 period, coupled with petitioner's heart ailment and financial distress, the Court held the explanation was not mala fide or unreasonable, particularly in absence of any allegation of fraudulent or unlawful activity.
