GST on contracts/tenders —– The petition pertains to tenders floated by second respondent, wherein the petitioner participated and became successful. The counsel for writ petitioner sought a directive to the second respondent to dispose of the representation of the writ petitioner dated 07.11.2022. The court observed that it is a case of the contractor/writ petitioner that tenders were prior to 01.07.2017 before the GST regime kicked in and therefore, GST incurred by the contractor has to be absorbed by the contractor.

Held that:- The Hon’ble High Court directed the second respondent to dispose of the representation of writ petitioner dated 07.11.2022 on its own merits and in accordance with law, within a fortnight.
