The Delhi High Court declined to entertain a PIL challenging differing dress codes for judicial and technical members of the GST Appellate Tribunal. The Bench said, “How is this a PIL? These issues are not justiciable,” refusing to examine the matter.
The Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) has been established by the Ministry of Finance to address the increasing disputes between taxpayers and the Revenue Department. It will have a principal bench in New Delhi and 31 state benches distributed across various regions. The tribunal is expected to expedite dispute resolution and reduce the backlog of pending appeals.
