Delhi High Court uses Article 226 to restore GST registration, finding the delay in filing returns was due to the department denying portal access after initial cancellation.
Re-testing of seized goods under Public Notice No.97/2017 was a facilitative right and could not be denied except on exceptional grounds duly recorded. Customs’ objection based on limitation and remnant sample requirement was also rejected and fresh sampling and re-testing was directed, with provisional release of goods permitted.
Customs Department could not have relied upon Circular No. 35/2017-Customs dated 16 August 2017 to outrightly deny assessee’s request for provisional release, particularly when such reliance had been held to be contrary to the statutory provisions under Section 110A of the Customs Act, 1962 and therefore void. Hence, ordered for provision release of the the imported multi-functional printer and photocopier Machine on deposit of 50% of the applicable duty.
Where show-cause notice (SCN) that initiated the proceeding did not specifically state or propose that the cancellation would be from a an earlier, retrospective date, the cancellation of the registration should be considered effective only from the date of the show-cause notice.
