ORDER

The petitioner challenges an order of cancellation of her GST registration. The petitioner was a registered person under applicable GST laws. Pursuant to a show cause notice dated 05.06.2025 stating that the petitioner had not filed GST monthly returns regularly, the impugned order was issued.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the cancellation of the GST registration is causing immense hardship and that such cancellation should

be revoked. In support of his contentions, he draws reference to the Judgment of this Court in Suguna Cutpiece v. Appellate Deputy Commissioner (ST)(GST), W.P.Nos.25048 of 2021 batch (Suguna Cutpiece).

3. Ms.Amirta Poonkodi Dinakaran, learned Government Counsel (Tax), accepts notice on behalf of the respondent. She submits that the GST registration of the petitioner was cancelled on account of the petitioner not filing returns regularly. She further submits that the order issued in Suguna Cutpiece was a conditional order and that the petitioner should be directed to comply with all conditions stipulated therein.

4. In Suguna Cutpiece, this Court directed restoration of GST registration subject to several terms and conditions. The said judgment was followed thereafter in many cases. In order to maintain consistency, I am inclined to follow the said judgment.

5. In the operative portion thereof, the following directions were issued: "i. The petitioner is directed to file her returns for the period prior to the cancellation of registration, together with tax dues along with interest thereon and the fee fixed for belated filing of returns within a period of forty five (45) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Only such approved Input Tax Credit shall be allowed to utilized thereafter for discharging future tax liability under the Act and Rules.

v. The petitioner shall also pay GST and file the returns for the period subsequent to the cancellation of the registration by declaring the correct value of supplies. vi. If any Input Tax Credit was earned, it shall be allowed to be utilised only after scrutinising and approving by the respondents or any other competent authority. vii. On payment of tax, penalty and uploading of returns, the registration shall stand revived forthwith. viii. The respondents shall take suitable steps by instructing GST Network, New Delhi to make suitable changes in the architecture of the GST Web portal to allow the petitioner to file the returns and to pay the tax / penalty / fine.

6. The restoration of the GST registration is subject to and conditional upon fulfilling the above conditions.

7. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of on the same terms without any order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
