Introduction: The Gujarat High Court has intervened in the case of Teszla Multi Trade, which received a Show Cause Notice for registration cancellation. The court observed that, despite the issuance of an advisory wrongly stating the cancellation, a decision on the suspension is pending. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the court’s directives, the legal provisions invoked, and the urgency for a prompt resolution.
Detailed Analysis:
1. Show Cause Notice and Suspension: Teszla Multi Trade found itself facing a Show Cause Notice for the cancellation of its registration on 13.12.2022. Simultaneously, the registration was suspended from that day. The petitioner sought clarification on the basis for the fraud allegation leading to the registration cancellation.
2. Legal Reference – Rule 21A Sub-Rules (2) & (2-A): Avinash Poddar, the petitioner’s counsel, invoked Rule 21A sub-rules (2) & (2-A), emphasizing that the suspension decision must be made within 30 days of issuing the notice.
