GST Adjudication Challenge Dismissed: Writ Petition Rejected as Statutory Appeal Remedy Available Under Section 107A

Case Laws     GST     HC

The HC dismissed a petition challenging a GST adjudication order on grounds of natural justice violations, specifically denial of cross-examination opportunity. The Court held that orders under Section 74 of the GST Act are appealable under Section 107A, providing an adequate statutory remedy for the aggrieved party. Following established legal principle, the HC's writ jurisdiction cannot be invoked when specific statutory remedies exist, absent exceptional circumstances. The petitioner failed to demonstrate such exceptional circumstances warranting judicial intervention through writ jurisdiction. The Court determined that adequate opportunities had been provided to the petitioner to present their case, and the denial of cross-examination did not constitute a breach of natural justice principles.
