In these Writ Petitions, the Petitioner has challenged the impugned Orders dated 23.10.2024 passed for the tax period 2017 – 2018 to 2022 – 2023.

¶26

All the impugned orders dated 23.10.2022 are preceded by a Show Cause Notice in GST DRC – 01 dated 20.06.2024. However, the Petitioner in these Writ Petitions failed to respond to the same and has thus suffered the impugned orders.

¶27

Instead of filing an appeal against the impugned orders, the Petitioner has approached this Court after the time for filing an appeal beyond the condonable period of limitation have expired under Section 107 of the respective GST enactments. In all these Writ Petitions, there is a delay of 37 days except in W.P.No.12476 of 2025, where there is a delay of 33 days.

¶28

Under similar circumstances, this Court have quashed the impugned

¶29

orders and cases have been remitted back to the Respondent to pass a fresh order on terms subject to such Assessee depositing 10% to 100% of the disputed tax depending upon the length of delay in approaching the Court. I do not find any reason to take a different view in this case.
