Calcutta HC allows Petition as Temporary Respite to Taxpayers awaiting Operationalization of GST

The Calcutta High Court has granted temporary relief to taxpayers by allowing their petitions due to the delay in operationalizing the GST Appellate Tribunal. The Court acknowledged the significant impact on taxpayers unable to appeal against orders due to the absence of the tribunal. The decision provides interim relief, permitting the petitioners to seek alternative remedies until the tribunal becomes functional. This move is seen as a crucial step to address taxpayers' grievances and ensure their right to a fair appeal process is maintained.
