Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the time limit for filing returns under GST enactments was relaxed by insertion of Section 16(5) under Notification No.17/2024-CT, dated 27.09.2024. As a consequence of this development, he contends that the impugned order is liable to be set aside. 3. Mr.Sai Srujan Tayi, learned Senior Panel Counsel, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent. He concurs that the position has been materially altered by the insertion of Section 16(5). He also adds that parties have been permitted to file an application for rectification within a prescribed time limit. 4. In the case at hand, it appears that the petitioner may not be within such time limit. Nonetheless, on account of the change in law by insertion of sub-section (5) of Section 16, the impugned order cannot be sustained. 5. For reasons aforesaid, this writ petition is allowed by setting aside impugned order dated 21.04.2024. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. 08-06-2026 (1/2) Index : Yes/No Neutral Citation : Yes/No KJ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 19198 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 To Superintendent of GST and Central Excise, Mettur I Range, D.No.16/1, First floor, Mettur Main Road, Omalur – 636 455. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 19198 of 2026 __________ Page4 of 4 SENTHILKUMAR RAMAMOORTHY J.
