High Courts are declining to entertain GST writs now that GSTAT is operational. Taxpayers must pursue statutory appeals, with courts granting limited transition relief to avoid hardship.
The High Court held that challenges to GST assessment orders must be pursued through statutory appeals. Failure to reply to a show cause notice bars writ relief.

Courts have held that bona fide recipients cannot be penalised for supplier defaults. Using Section 64 against compliant buyers is disproportionate and legally vulnerable.
