A writ petition challenging denial of transitional credit under Section 140 of the CGST Act was held maintainable because the requested relief was correction of revised TRAN-1 and TRAN-2 forms, a remedy beyond the effective power of the statutory appellate authorities.

It therefore quashed the assessment order and consequential demand, permitted rectification of the forms, and remitted the matter for fresh adjudication after hearing and production of supporting documents.
