Saha, Advocate For the Respondent(s) : None appears Page No.# 2/3 BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH ORDER Date : 03.12.2025 Heard Mr. S.K. Saha, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners. 2. None appears on behalf of the CGST on call. 3. The petitioners herein has approached this Court challenging the show cause notice dated 28.07.2022 issued by the Deputy Director, Guwahati. 4. It is relevant to take note of that the writ petition was filed on 07.01.2023. The record further reveals that on various occasions the petitioners were given opportunities to make corrections, but the petitioners failed to do so. The defects that remained in the writ petition were as follows. (a) Court Fee not paid; (b) Page Nos. not shown in Index; (c) Copy not served upon respondents; (d) Not properly addressed to H.C.J. 5. This Court further takes note of the affidavit filed to verify Page No.# 3/3 the contents of the writ petition and the said affidavit under no circumstances can be said to be an affidavit. It really surprises this Court, as to how, the Notary Public affixed a stamp on such an affidavit which is incomplete. 6. Considering the above, it therefore appears that the petitioners have not been diligent in the instant proceedings and the instant writ petition was filed merely for the sake of filing. 7. Today, when the matter is listed Mr. S.K. Saha, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submitted that the petitioners would like to withdraw the instant writ petition with a liberty to re-file. 8. Taking into account the said prayer, the instant writ petition stands closed on withdrawal. 9. However, this Court declines to grant such liberty in view of the fact that the equitable jurisdiction of this Court has been invoked by litigants who have not shown any diligence.
