Disposal
WITHDRAWN

Holding

The Court allowed the petitioner to withdraw the writ petition and granted liberty to pursue a statutory appeal under Section 107 of the CGST/BGST Act.

Summary

Succulent Engineers Private Limited filed a civil writ petition challenging an order of the Union of India and others. The petitioner later sought the Court's permission to withdraw the writ application and to pursue a statutory appeal under Section 107 of the CGST/BGST Act. The Court examined the request and considered the procedural propriety of allowing a withdrawal coupled with a future appeal. It granted the petitioner's request, dismissing the writ petition as withdrawn while expressly permitting the petitioner to file the statutory appeal. The Court further directed that any limitation issue arising before the appellate authority should be assessed in view of the period the petitioner spent before this Court.

Issues considered

  • Whether a petitioner may withdraw a writ petition and be granted liberty to file a statutory appeal under Section 107 of the CGST/BGST Act.
  • Whether the limitation period for the statutory appeal can be adjusted based on the time spent pursuing the writ petition.

2    25-06-2026                   After some arguments, learned counsel for the
