Pepperfry Limited Vs Union of India (Bombay High Court)

Bombay High Court has allowed Pepperfry Limited to file a belated reply to the GST show cause notice (SCN) dated 11 April 2023. This decision was made following similar proceedings in a previous case (Writ Petition No. 4500 of 2024). The Court set aside the order dated 3 July 2023, which had previously dismissed the petitioner’s request. The Court granted Pepperfry two weeks to submit its reply to the SCN. After reviewing the reply, the concerned authority is required to dispose of the matter within eight weeks. However, the Court imposed a cost of Rs. 50,000, which must be paid to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund as a pre-condition for receiving the benefit of the order. All other legal contentions of the parties remain open for further consideration.
