¶2In W.P.No.9672 of 2026, the petitioner has challenged the impugned Order-in-Original No.24/2022-23-GST, dated 09.03.2023, passed by the 1st respondent, bearing C.No. ADJ/GST/74/2022-CGST.

¶3In W.P.No.9682 of 2026, the petitioner has challenged the impugned Order-in-Appeal No.44/2025 (GSTA-1) (ADC), dated 06.02.2025, passed by the 2nd respondent.

¶4By the impugned Order-in-Original, the demand proposed in Show Cause Notice No.4/2022-GST, dated 03.11.2022, was confirmed.

¶5Aggrieved by the said Order-in-Original, the petitioner earlier made an unsuccessful attempt to have it rectified under Section 161 of the respective GST enactments by filing an application dated 31.03.2023 before the 1st respondent, which was rejected by an Order dated 13.10.2023.

¶6Thereafter, the petitioner filed an appeal before the 2nd respondent on

18.12.2023 against the Order-in-Original No.24/2022-23-GST, dated

09.03.2023. The said appeal was rejected by Order-in-Appeal No.44/2025 (GSTA-1) (ADC) dated 06.02.2025.

¶7The petitioner has now approached this Court against the Order-in-Original dated 09.03.2023 and the subsequent Order-in-Appeal dated

06.02.2025 passed by the 1st and 2nd respondents, respectively.

¶8Upon hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Senior Standing Counsel, and the learned Junior Standing Counsel for the respondents, I am of the view that the interest of the petitioner will be protected if the appeal that was pending before the 2nd respondent is restored.

¶9Consequently, W.P.No.9672 of 2026, challenging the Order-in-Original No.24/2022-23-GST dated 09.03.2023, is dismissed.

¶10Accordingly, W.P.No.9682 of 2026 is allowed, and the appeal filed on 18.12.2023 before the 2nd respondent is restored.

¶11The 2nd respondent shall dispose of the appeal on merits and in accordance with law, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.

¶12In view thereof, all the miscellaneous petitions are closed. No costs.
