Cancellation of GST registration for mere non-filing of returns was set aside where there was no allegation of dubious tax evasion. The HC held that continued cancellation would be counterproductive to revenue because the taxpayer could not carry on business or raise invoices, which would impede tax recovery. Following its earlier pragmatic approach, the Court restored registration conditionally on filing all pending returns for the default period and paying the requisite tax, interest, fine and penalty within the stipulated time; failing compliance, the writ petition would stand dismissed and restoration would not follow.
