2023 (1) TMI 436 - HC - GSTCancellation of registration of petitioner - appeal dismissed on the ground of limitation - HELD THAT:- A careful perusal of the impugned order brings to light that the date of communication to the writ petitioner qua the cancellation order is 08.03.2022. Three months therefrom elapsed on 08.06.2022 i.e., the prescribed period qua Section 107 of CG& ST Act elapsed on 08.06.2022. Condonable period of one month thereafter elapsed on 08.07.2022. The appeal was preferred by the writ petitioner only on 08.09.2022. Law is well settled that when there is a cap, Section 5 of the Limitation Act cannot be applied and going by Simplex Infrastructure Ltd. Vs. Union of India [2018 (12) TMI 388 - SUPREME COURT], when there is a cap there cannot be any condonation beyond the cap or belated period. As the appellate authority has dismissed the appeal on the ground of limitation, this Court finds no ground to interfere with the impugned order however it is made clear that this writ Court is not expressing any view or opinion on the merits of the matter and it is also made clear that it is open to the writ petitioner to apply afresh for registration and if the writ petitioner chooses to apply afresh for registration, the application shall be processed on its own merits and in accordance with law. Appeal dismissed.
