Quick Summary

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that the Appellate Authority, under Section 107(11) of the CGST Act, 2017, does not have the power to send cases back to the adjudicating authority. The court found that appellate orders remitting matters for reconsideration were unlawful. This decision reaffirms that the appellate authority must either confirm, modify, or annul the original decision, as the statute explicitly prohibits remanding cases.
