The court held that the contractor's bid already included all taxes including GST as per the agreement's scope of work clause, and claiming additional GST would constitute double payment. The court noted that government orders reduced GST rates on works contracts to balance pre and post-GST regimes, ensuring no adverse impact on the contractor. The petitioner failed to produce evidence of GST payment or input tax credit claims. The court directed the contractor to pursue remedies through the arbitration clause within four weeks, as the specific arbitration provision in the agreement precluded writ jurisdiction for the relief sought. en-us Mon, 03 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 05 May 2025 10:44:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=753560 The HC dismissed the writ petition filed by a contractor seeking additional GST payment from the state corporation.
