Issues:
Appeal under Section 107 of the CGST Act against cancellation of GST registration.

Analysis:
The appellant, Naresh Jain, filed an appeal under Section 107 of the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 against the Order passed by the Superintendent, Central Goods & Service Tax Division-C, Jaipur, cancelling the GSTIN due to non-filing of returns for six months. The appellant contended that they had since filed all applicable GST 3B Returns and paid the due tax. The appellant requested an early listing of the case as the cancellation of registration had hindered their business operations, preventing them from purchasing and selling goods and services.

In response to the appeal, the Authorized Representative of the appellant's firm expressed the desire to withdraw the appeal, citing the regularization of the GST registration by the authority. After considering the submissions and case records, the Additional Commissioner (Appeals) allowed the appellant to withdraw the appeal. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed as withdrawn.

This judgment highlights the process of appealing against the cancellation of GST registration under Section 107 of the CGST Act. It underscores the importance of timely compliance with GST regulations to avoid adverse consequences such as registration cancellation. Additionally, it demonstrates the authority's discretion to allow appellants to withdraw appeals, especially when circumstances change, such as the regularization of GST registration. The judgment emphasizes the significance of maintaining accurate records and engaging in transparent communication with the tax authorities to address compliance issues effectively.
