The significant implementation occurred on October 20, 2023, when the two-member bench diligently released notices to the parties involved in the case. The bench, displaying thoroughness in its duties, instructed the respondents to provide their responses within a specified timeframe of 30 days.
This legal process represents a noteworthy progression in the present proceedings, highlighting the court’s dedication to conducting a comprehensive examination of the matter with promptness.
The petitioner noted that as of Monday, November 20, none of the three entities had provided their responses. He said that he had the intention to present an oral argument during the court proceedings.
In the plea, he requested that similar to other taxation systems and the previous indirect tax system, GST taxpayers should also be permitted to file amended returns.
