In these Writ Petitions, the Petitioner has challenged the respective impugned Assessment Orders all dated 09.06.2025 passed by the Respondent for the Tax Periods April 2023-March 2024, April 2022-March 2023, April 2024-January 2025 respectively, which were preceded by Show

¶30

Cause Notices in GST DRC-01 all dated 04.04.2025, wherein the Petitioner was called upon to appear for personal hearing. However, the Petitioner had not taken advantage of the same and thus, suffered the impugned Assessment Orders all dated 09.06.2025.

¶31

It is noticed that the limitation for filing an appeal under Section

¶32

107 of the respective GST enactments, 2017 against the impugned Orders have already expired. The present Writ Petitions have been filed only on 04.02.2026.

¶33

At this stage, the learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner is willing to pre-deposit 25% of the disputed tax confirmed vide

¶34

the respective impugned Assessment Orders all dated 09.06.2025 for the respective Tax Periods i.e., April 2023-March 2024, April 2022-March 2023,

an endorsement in the Court Bundle to that effect, which is extracted as

¶40

under:-

¶41

“The Petitioner undertakes to deposit 25% of the disputed tax amount as deposit to remit the matter back for fresh consideration.”

¶42

Under similar circumstances, Orders have been quashed and

¶43

cases have been remitted back to the Respondent to pass a fresh order on terms subject to such Assessee depositing 25% 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.

¶44

Therefore, to balance the interest of both parties viz., the

¶45

Assessee and the Revenue, the cases are remitted back to the Respondent to pass fresh orders on merits subject to the Petitioner depositing 25% of the disputed tax for each of the Tax Periods April 2023-March 2024, April 2022March 2023, April 2024-January 2025, in cash or from the Petitioner's Electronic Cash Register within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
