The petitioner’s GST registration has been cancelled vide order dated 10.07.2026 (Annexure P-4) with retrospective effect from 25.11.2024.

Union of India and Another and M/s Shree Ram Industries V/s State of Haryana and Another; 2026:PHHC:027747-DB to submit that in such circumstances, the impugned order cannot be sustained.
