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. Procedural rules being handmaids of justice, substantial rights cannot be defeated on hyper-technical defects when the electronic mode is provided. 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
