Issues:
Review of directions in the order dated 10.10.2022 concerning the instruction dated 05.07.2018. Analysis: The review petition was filed by respondent no.4/applicant regarding the directions in paragraph 3 of the order dated 10.10.2022. The order dated 10.10.2022 was a continuation of the proceedings from 19.09.2022, where a typographical error was noted in referring to the instruction dated 05.07.2018 instead of 05.02.2017. The respondent no.4/applicant cannot claim ignorance of the challenge to the instruction dated 05.07.2018, as it was mentioned in the impugned communication dated 04.02.2019. The petitioner was not allowed to transition unutilized credit due to the instruction dated 05.07.2018, which was found to be misaligned with previous court judgments allowing such transitions under Section 140 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. The relief granted in the writ petition was based on the legal position established by previous judgments. Respondent no.4/applicant acknowledged that the petitioner was entitled to relief based on a Supreme Court judgment. In conclusion, the court found that a review of the order dated 10.10.2022 was unnecessary, as the relief granted was in accordance with established legal principles and previous court judgments. The review petition/application was closed accordingly.
