A child comes home late…

The clock says one thing โฑ๏ธ
The child may say another ๐ŸŽญ

A mother who only looks at the clock may punish the child.

But a mother who asks, โ€œ๐‘Šโ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘ก โ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘๐‘’๐‘›๐‘’๐‘‘?โ€ will discover that the delay had a GENUINE REASON.

Simply put, that’s the balance this case brings out…

Under ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿณ, the GST law gives a “SPECIFIC WINDOW” to “FILE AN APPEAL”. But in ๐‘’๐‘ฅ๐‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘™ ๐‘๐‘–๐‘Ÿ๐‘๐‘ข๐‘š๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘๐‘’๐‘ , the High Courtโ€™s constitutional jurisdiction under ๐—”๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ can still become relevant.

The important point is not that deadlines don’t matter.
They do.
The reason behind the delay can matter too!

And this is where the judgment becomes important for #businesses that have lost their statutory remedy because of genuine reasons for delay.

Before writing off an old #GSTdispute as โ€œtoo lateโ€, look at the facts, the reason for the delay and the jurisdiction available.

Sometimes, the #Law has a deadline.
#Justice asks us to look at the story behind it.
