Rejection of a statutory GST appeal solely for non-submission of a hard copy and non-uploading of a certified copy of the impugned order was held unsustainable, since s. 107(5) of the J&K GST Act read with r. 108(1) contemplates filing in prescribed form with relevant documents, including electronic filing as notified, and does not mandate hard-copy filing as a condition precedent.

Consequently, the rejection order was set aside and the appeal was remanded to the appellate authority for fresh adjudication on merits after granting hearing. - HC
