order dated 15.02.2024 passed by this Court while disposing of D.B. Civil Writ Petition No.1113/2024 with the following directions:-
“Though the matter comes up for admission today, with the consent of the parties, the petition is being disposed of finally. At the outset, learned counsel for the respondents has submitted that at present the Tribunal has not been constituted and the process towards constitution of the Tribunal is going on, therefore, in these circumstances, the petition may not be kept pending but with appropriate protection available under Section 112(8) of the Rajasthan Goods and Services Tax, 2017 (for short ‘the Act’), this petition may be disposed off with liberty to the petitioner to file appeal within stipulated period from the date the Tribunal is constituted. In support of his submission, he places reliance upon a

4. The petition is disposed of in the same terms. Let the petitioner deposit the amount as per the provisions of Section 112(8) of the Act within six weeks from today.
5. Considering that as on date the Tribunal is not functional, in the eventuality of the petitioner filing an appeal within three months from the date of constitution of the Tribunal, the same shall be considered to have been filed within limitation. Thereafter, the petitioner shall be at liberty to make a request for early disposal of the appeal and the same shall be considered in accordance with law.”
