Mathur Advocate Mr. Siddharth Ranka Advocate with Mr. Muzaffar Iqbal Advocate and Mr. Saurav Harsh Advocate HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE CHANDRA KUMAR SONGARA Order 30/07/2020 Vide this order above mentioned petitions would be disposed of as they involve common questions. We have heard learned counsel for parties. Learned Additional Solicitor General has submitted that similar writ petition, i.e. Obelisk Composite Technology LLP Vs. Union of India & Others (D.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 18392/2019) has been disposed of by Co-ordinate Division Bench of this Court Principal Seat at Jodhpur vide order dated 12.12.2019. (Downloaded on 27/04/2021 at 09:35:42 AM) (20 of 22) [CW-4182/2020] Hence, present petitions were liable to be disposed of in terms of order passed in Obelisk Composite Technology LLP (supra). In all writ petitions, petitioners have prayed that they may be permitted to file Form TRAN-1 in compliance of Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (for short CGST Act ) read with Central Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as CGST Rules ) in order to enable petitioners to avail Tansitional Credit in Electronic Credit Ledger. It was also prayed that respondents should give effect to Form GST Tran-1 that had been manually submitted to respondent-department to avail relevant Legitimate Input Tax Credit. In some of writ petitions, validity of Rule 117 of CGST Rules has also been challenged. Order passed in Obelisk Composite Technology LLP (supra) reads as under: 1. Heard learned counsel for respective parties. 2. In present writ application, petitioner M/s Obelisk Composite Technology LLP through its partner has made prayer seeking writ of mandamus to effect that filing of declaration in form GST Trans- 1 may be allowed to enable petitioner to claim transition credit of eligible duties on appointed day in terms of Section 140 of Central Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017 and to credit same in its relevant ledger account or in alternative to refund eligible amount to petitioner. 3. further prayer has been made to declare Rule 117 of CGST Rules to claim transitional Credit violates Constitutional provisions and therefore it may be turned down or ordered to be read down as if there is no last date to file TRANS-1. 4. further prayer has been made to direct respondents to revive facility of filing TRANS-1 on common portal. 5. Learned counsel appearing for Revenue brought to our notice judgment rendered by Division Bench of this Court in D.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 7454/2019 (M/s Anupam Motors Vs. Union of India) wherein challenge to Rule 117 of Rules were held to be no longer res integra in view of decision of Gujarat High Court in Willowood Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Union of India (R/ Special Civil Application No. 4252 (Downloaded on 27/04/2021 at 09:35:42 AM) (21 of 22) [CW-4182/2020] of 2018) decided on 12th/19th September, 2018 and challenge to constitutional validity of Section 140 (3) of CGST Act and proviso to Rule 117 of Rules were dismissed. 6. Learned counsel for State further submits that Union of India has extended last date for submitting GST TRANS-1 upto 31st December, 2019 but procedure stipulated under Sub-rule 1(A) of Rule 117 requires petitioner to make application through GST counsel who may make recommendation to Commissioner who shall act on basis of such direction of counsel. 7. In this respect, our attention was drawn to judgment passed by this Court in SBCWP No. 4315/2019 (M/s Shree Motors Vs. Union of India & Ors.) which was disposed of vide order dated 21.11.2019. 8. Accordingly, upon taking aforesaid submissions into consideration, we are of considered view that challenge to constitutional validity of Rule 117 no more being res integra, this Court cannot entertain such prayer and accordingly reject same, however, considering fact that Union of India and Finance Department have extended period contemplated under Rule 1A of Rule 117 till 31st December, 2019, we grant liberty to petitioner to make application before GST Council (through Standing Counsel, who is further requested to hand over same to jurisdictional officer) for forwarding same to GST Council to issue requisite certificate of recommendation alongwith requisite particulars, evidence and certified copy of order instantly and such decision be taken forthwith and if petitioner s assertion is found to be correct, GST Council shall issue necessary recommendation to Commissioner to enable petitioner to get benefit of CENVAT credit within stipulated time as stipulated by Union of India i.e on or before 31st December, 2019. 9. writ application stands disposed of in terms of aforesaid directions. Thus, controversy involved in present writ petitions is similar to controversy involved in Obelisk Composite Technology LLP (supra). Hence, writ petitions are liable to be disposed of in terms of decision rendered by Co-ordinate Division Bench of this Court Principal Seat at Jodhpur in Obelisk Composite Technology LLP (supra). (Downloaded on 27/04/2021 at 09:35:42 AM) (22 of 22) [CW-4182/2020] Accordingly, we grant liberty to petitioners to make application before GST Council through Standing Counsel, who is further requested to hand over same to jurisdictional officer for forwarding same to GST Council to issue requisite certificate of recommendation alongwith requisite particulars, evidence and certified copy of order instantly and such decision be taken forthwith and if petitioners assertion is found to be correct, GST Council shall issue necessary recommendation to Commissioner to enable petitioners to get benefit of CENVAT credit within stipulated time as stipulated by Union of India. Writ petitions stand disposed of in above terms. All pending applications stand disposed of.
