Case Laws GST HC

HC held that petitioner was entitled to refund of IGST and Service Tax paid on ocean freight following Mohit Minerals precedent. While addressing unjust enrichment concerns, court found petitioner's commitment to refund consumers through tariff adjustments satisfactory. Petitioner established plan to maintain refund amount in separate account for consumer benefit under Electricity Act provisions. Court rejected authorities' transfer of Rs. 23 Crores to Consumer Welfare Fund, finding it inappropriate when mechanism exists to return funds to affected consumers. Orders transferring refund to Consumer Welfare Fund quashed. Authorities directed to refund amount to petitioner within two weeks, with understanding funds would benefit consumers through regulated tariff reductions.
