Supreme Court dismissed the SLP on grounds of delayed filing it

Last updated: 12 December 2024

Quick Summary

The Supreme Court has dismissed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by the Revenue Department due to a significant delay of 229 days. The SLP challenged a Delhi High Court judgment that allowed a company, BT (India) Private Limited, to receive a refund of CENVAT credit. The High Court had ruled that finalised assessments cannot be reopened during refund proceedings if the self-assessed returns are not challenged, and that the refund denial was procedurally flawed.
