GS Exim International LLP Through Its Designated Partner Bhakti Pada Ghosh Vs Commissioner (Delhi High Court)
The Delhi High Court intervenes in the case of GS Exim International LLP versus the Commissioner regarding the dismissal of an appeal against the rejection of a GST refund application. The court finds the Order-in-Appeal to be cryptic and lacking in substantive consideration of the petitioner’s submissions.
Upon examination of the Order-in-Appeal, the High Court observes a lack of proper reasoning and consideration of the petitioner’s arguments. Despite the petitioner’s submissions and the provision of a detailed reply, the appellate authority fails to provide adequate justification for dismissing the appeal.
The court highlights the absence of clear grounds for concluding that the petitioner did not meet the eligibility conditions for the refund. The cryptic nature of the order raises doubts about the fairness of the decision-making process and necessitates a remit for a fresh hearing.
Consequently, the Delhi High Court sets aside the Order-in-Appeal and restores the appeal for reconsideration by the Appellate Authority. Emphasizing the importance of a speaking order and due consideration of the petitioner’s submissions, the court ensures a fair opportunity for GS Exim International LLP to present their case.
