Govt Can Relax GST Tribunal Officer Appointment Criteria for State Servants Under Specific Service Conditions
April 9, 2025
Case Laws GST HC
HC dismissed the petition challenging GST Tribunal appointment notification. The court held that relaxation of eligibility criteria under Section 110(d) is permissible only for State Government officers who have not completed 25 years of service, and does not extend to All-India Service officers. The petitioner's contention that the notification was premature or ultra vires was rejected, with the court noting that identical relaxations had been granted in ten other States. The notification was found to be legally valid, and the petition was dismissed without merit.
