Tvl Amuthaselvan Thyagu v. The Deputy State Tax Officer I ( St )

ORDER Mrs.K.Vasanthamala, learned Government Advocate, takes notice for the first Respondent.

¶2This Writ Petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission itself with the consent of the learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Government Advocate for the first Respondent.

¶3In this Writ Petition, the Petitioner has challenged the impugned Order dated 28.10.2025, which was preceded by a Show Cause Notice in GST DRC-01 dated 26.08.2025 wherein the Petitioner was called upon to appear for personal hearing. However, the Petitioner had not taken advantage of the same and thus, suffered the impugned Order dated 28.10.2025.

¶4It is noticed that the limitation for filing an appeal under Section 107 of the respective GST enactments, 2017 against the impugned Order has already expired long before. However, the present Writ Petition has been filed only on

13.03.2026. Page3 of 6

¶5The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has already deposited 25% of the disputed tax. In support of this, the petitioner has produced a copy of the payment receipt dated 20.12.2025.

¶6The learned counsel for the Respondent, however, is unable to confirm whether the aforesaid amount of Rs.51,034/-, for which the receipt was issued, pertains to the demand confirmed by the impugned order.

¶7At this stage, the learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that the Petitioner is willing to pre-deposit 10% of the disputed tax as a condition for de novo adjudication.

¶8The learned counsel for the Petitioner has also made an endorsement to that effect in the Court bundle which has been extracted hereunder:- "Petitioner willing to deposit 10% disputed tax. Already Rs.51,034/- was paid on 20.12.2025."

¶9Recording the above consent given by the petitioner, the case is remitted back to the first Respondent to pass a fresh order on merits subject to the Petitioner depositing 10% of the disputed tax in cash or from the Petitioner's Electronic Cash Register within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶10In case there has been any recovery or any other amount paid by the Petitioner towards the tax liability confirmed vide impugned order dated

28.10.2025, the same shall be set off against the pre-deposit of 25% as ordered above. This shall however be subject to verification by the Respondents.

¶11In case the Petitioner complies with the above stipulations, the first Respondent shall proceed to pass a final order on merits and in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, without reference to limitation. Subject to the Petitioner complying with the above stipulations, the attachment of the bank account of the Petitioner if any, shall also stand automatically vacated.

¶12It is made clear that bank attachment shall be lifted subject to the Petitioner depositing 10% of the disputed tax as ordered above and the Petitioner not being in arrears of any other amount for any other tax period barring the amount demanded under the impugned Order.

¶13In case the Petitioner fails to comply with any of the stipulations, the Respondents are at liberty to proceed against the Petitioner to recover the tax in accordance with law as if this Writ Petition was dismissed in limine today.

¶14Needless to state, before passing any such order, the second Respondent shall give due notice to the Petitioner. Page5 of 6
