Furthermore, it is Mr Puneet Agarwal s contention that the cancelation of registration, perhaps, is predicated, on the following: (i) Firstly, that the returns were not furnished, as required under Section 39 of the Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 [in short, Act ]. (ii) Secondly, outward supply details were furnished in FORM GSTR-1. 6. Besides this, Mr Agarwal submits that insofar as petitioner is concerned, he has filed returns till June 2021.

We may observe that the petitioner has also not covered himself with glory. As adverted to above, the petitioner neither filed a reply to the show-cause notice nor did it s authorized representative appear before the concerned officer. This litigation could have been avoided if the petitioner had taken the necessary steps to protect its interests. 16.1.
