Issues Involved:
The writ petition challenges an order passed by the respondent under Section 73 of the CGST/TNGST Act regarding discrepancies in GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns filed by the petitioner. Details of the Judgment: The petitioner received Form GST ASMT-10 notice on 16.08.2023 and Form GST DRC-01 on 22.09.2023 for a personal hearing on 10.10.2023. An order was issued on 12.10.2023 confirming tax, interest, and penalty, directing payment by 10.01.2024. Petitioner claims to have submitted all details but respondent did not consider them, leading to the writ petition. The petitioner argued that they were not given an opportunity to present their defense and requested a personal hearing to demonstrate discrepancies between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns with documentary evidence. The Additional Government Pleader stated that no reply was received from the petitioner after the notice and advised the petitioner to approach the appropriate authority with all details and documents for fresh consideration. After hearing both parties, the Court set aside the order due to the mismatch in returns and the petitioner's willingness to submit documents and explanations. The matter was remanded to the first respondent for fresh consideration, directing the petitioner to submit all required documents within two weeks. The first respondent was instructed to pass an appropriate order within four weeks of receiving the documents. The writ petition was disposed of without costs, and related miscellaneous petitions were closed accordingly.
