The Division Bench of the High Court issued directions for cases challenging show cause notices related to GST on royalty. The petitioners were directed to submit objections within four weeks, and the authority concerned was instructed to proceed with adjudication after affording a hearing. The orders of adjudication were to be kept in abeyance until the Nine Judge Constitution Bench decides on the nature of royalty. No recovery of GST on royalty was allowed until the Nine Judge Constitution Bench decision. The petitioners were given the option to redress grievances before the appropriate forum after the decision of the Nine Judge Constitution Bench. Based on the Division Bench judgment, the petition was disposed of, allowing the petitioner to submit a reply to the intimation within four weeks. The petition was disposed of with no costs, and the related Writ Miscellaneous Petition was closed.
