Bombay HC: No Writ Remedy for Late CGST Appeals

Quick Summary

The Bombay High Court has ruled that it cannot entertain a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution if an appeal has not been filed within the time limits set by Section 107 of the CGST Act. This includes the initial three-month period and the additional one-month condonable period. The court emphasised that the extraordinary writ jurisdiction should not be used to bypass statutory appeal timelines.
