Case Laws GST HC
HC affirmed dismissal of GST appeal filed after 7-month delay. Section 107(4) of GST Act explicitly limits appellate authority's power to condone delay to 30 days only. The Act being a complete code, provisions of Limitation Act Section 5 are inapplicable. Petitioner failed to demonstrate any legal basis for condonation beyond the statutory 30-day period. Since appeal exceeded permissible delay by over 3 months and appellate authority lacked jurisdiction to condone extended delays, dismissal of appeal on grounds of limitation was legally sound. Petition challenging the dismissal rejected.
