Prushin Fintech Pvt. Ltd. Vs Union of India (Bombay High Court)
A recent judgment by the Bombay High Court sheds light on the importance of government officers’ accountability to taxpayers. The case involves a petitioner, Prushin Fintech Pvt. Ltd., facing inaction from state officers despite multiple representations. This article delves into the details of the case, the court’s observations, and its implications for administrative responsibility.
Detailed Analysis:
The primary issue at hand is the petitioner’s frustration with the lack of response from government officers despite making over 20 representations. Prushin Fintech Pvt. Ltd., a service provider, had filed its returns for the period 2017-2018. However, it encountered technical issues with the online portal, preventing the filing of the return for January 2019. The portal indicated that earlier returns were not filed, despite Prushin Fintech’s claims to the contrary.
In response to this issue, the petitioner made several representations to various authorities, including the State GST department, the grievance portal, the Finance Ministry, and the Ministry for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME). Unfortunately, none of these representations received a response. The petitioner also raised grievances through the portal, adding to the list of unanswered pleas.
