The High Court directs that petitioners deserve a chance to revive their registration so that they can proceed to regularize the defaults. GST authorities may impose penalties with the gravity of lapses committed by these petitioners by issuing notice. If required, the Central Government and the State Government may also suitably amend the Rules to levy penalty so that it acts as a deterrent on others from adopting casual approach

The present petition is disposed of with the direction that the cancellation of the petitioner’s GST registration would take effect from 11.12.2020 (the date of the show cause notice) and not from 01.07.2017, that is from the date when such registration was granted.

In view of the wide scope of Section 70 of the CGST Act, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned summons.

The primary grievance of the Petitioner is that Petitioner was not given adequate opportunity to defend the show cause notice and has prayed that an opportunity may be given and if an opportunity is given to the Petitioner, the Petitioner will attend the proceedings diligently and co-operate with the authority for early disposal

The above writ petition is filed to quash the order by which, the petitioner`s GST Registration was canceled. Petitioner deserve a chance and therefore should be allowed to revive their registration so that they can proceed to regularize the defaults.
