Y. M. Motors Private Limited Vs Union of India (Bombay High Court)
In the case of Y. M. Motors Private Limited Vs Union of India, the Bombay High Court intervened to restore the petitioner’s GST appeal that had been dismissed on technical grounds. The appeal was rejected due to a defective board resolution filed along with the appeal memo. The Court reviewed the resolution and disagreed with the dismissal, finding no substantial defect that warranted the rejection of the appeal or rectification application. The Court noted that similar objections had been raised in other cases, such as Delphi World Money Ltd. vs. The Union of India, where similar dismissals were set aside. Following this precedent, the High Court set aside the impugned orders and directed the second respondent to reconsider the matter on its merits, providing both parties an opportunity for a fair hearing. The Court emphasized the need for a speedy resolution, instructing that the appeal be disposed of by January 31, 2025. No costs were imposed, and the concerned parties were directed to act on an authenticated copy of the order.
