SVLDRS - Rejection of the Petitioner’s Application filed under Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme, 2019 - Despite repeated directives from the court, the respondent failed to file a reply affidavit within the stipulated time frame, indicating a lack of compliance. However, the court found that the liability had indeed been quantified before the cutoff date, making the petitioner eligible for the scheme. Interpretation of the SVLDRS scheme and relevant circulars supported this conclusion. As a result, the court allowed the writ petition, quashing the rejection of the petitioner's application and directing the department to consider it in accordance with the law.
