It is noticed that the limitation for filing an appeal under Section 107 of the respective GST enactments, 2017 against the impugned Orders has already expired. The present Writ Petition has been filed only on 07.11.2025. 6. Under similar circumstances, Order has been quashed and case has been remitted back to pass a fresh order on terms subject to such Assessee depositing 25% to 100% of the disputed tax depending upon the length of delay in approaching the Court. I do not find any reason to take a different view in this case. 7. Therefore, to balance the interest of both parties viz., the Assessee and the Revenue, the case is remitted back to the Respondent to pass a fresh order subject to the Petitioner depositing 50% of the disputed tax in cash 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. 8. Within such time, the Petitioner shall also file a reply to the Show Cause Notice in GST FORM DRC-01 dated 28.05.2024 together with requisite ____________ Page No. 3 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis documents to substantiate the case by treating the impugned Order dated 30.08.2024 as an addendum to the Show Cause Notice dated 28.05.2024. 9.

Subject to the Petitioner complying with the above stipulations, the attachment of the bank account of the Petitioner shall also stand automatically raised/vacated. 10. In case the Petitioner fails to comply with any of the stipulations, the Respondent is 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. 11. Needless to state, before passing any such order, the Respondent shall give due notice to the Petitioner. 12. It is made clear that recovery of 50% of the disputed tax ordered above pertains only to the impugned Order dated 30.08.2024. ____________ Page No. 4 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 13.
