Case Law Details
Drs Wood Products Vs State of U.P. (Allahabad High Court)
In the present case, the arbitrary exercise of power cancelling the GST registration in the manner in which it has been done has not only adversely affected the petitioner, but has also adversely affected the revenues that could have flown to the coffers of GST in case the petitioner was permitted to carry out the commercial activities. The actions are clearly not in consonance with the ease of doing business, which is being promoted at all levels. For the manner in which the petitioner has been harassed since 20.05.2020, the State Government is liable to pay a cost of Rs.50,000/- to the petitioner. The said cost of Rs.50,000/- shall be paid to the petitioner within a period of two months, failing with the petitioner shall be entitled to file a contempt petition.
