‘GST Act little beyond understanding of common man'; HC overturns restaurant registration cancellation
Dehradun: Uttarakhand high court has quashed the cancellation of a restaurant's GST registration and allowed it to reapply, saying the GST Act remains "technically complex for citizens focused on running their daily businesses". The division bench of Chief Justice G Narendar and Justice Alok Mahra held that the delay in seeking revocation must be condoned as such cancellations affect sources of livelihood and reduce state revenue. The court passed the order earlier this week while hearing a petition filed by M/s River View Restaurant in Bageshwar. The bench noted that GST is still in its initial phase and that several of its provisions are beyond the understanding of a common person. The court directed the petitioner to file a fresh application for restoration of GST registration within three weeks. It also instructed the department to process the application within the following three-week period. Counsel for the respondents — commissioner and joint commissioner of state goods and services tax — said the petitioner had the option to apply for revocation under Section 30 of the Central GST Act, 2017. The provision allows a registered taxpayer, whose GST registration has been cancelled by the proper officer on their own motion, to apply for revocation of the cancellation order within 30 days — which can be extended up to 90 days — provided all pending returns are filed and tax dues are paid. The petitioner's counsel admitted that no such application was filed within the prescribed time. The court said, "We feel that the limitation should not take precedence for reconsideration of the order of cancellation. Keeping a larger objective of the involvement of livelihood and also loss of revenue to the department, we are of the considered opinion that delay in invoking the provisions of the Act is required to be condoned and is, accordingly, condoned." Several high courts, including Delhi, Madras and Gujarat, have in recent months condoned delays in GST registration revocation filings under section 30, particularly in cases involving small businesses, where courts observed that cancellation could affect income and state revenue.

CPI(M) flays economic priorities of State, Centre
Senior leaders of the CPI(M) flayed the State and the Central government for extending a red carpet to the corporates with the taxpayers' money while the burden of price rise was being borne by the poor. The CPI(M) leader U. Basavaraj said that though the people of the country pay ₹50 lakh crore in taxes to the Centre and ₹3-₹4 lakh crore is received by the State government, the amount was being used to benefit the corporate companies. He was speaking at the concluding programme of the political campaign organised by the CPI(M) Mysuru district committee at Gandhi Square here. Mr. Basavaraju said India ranked 105th in the Global Hunger Index, and the unemployment rate was high; hence, the claim that it was the fourth-largest economy was questionable. Though nearly 70 crore people were receiving rations through the public distribution system and nutritious food was being distributed through the Anganwadis, the scourge of hunger and malnutrition persisted and put a question mark on the claims of being the fourth largest economy, said Mr. Basavaraju. The economic policies of the Central and State governments also received flak, and the CPI(M) wondered whether the two were working for the corporates or the economically impoverished section of the population. District secretary Jagadeesh Surya said that no project has been introduced in the district for job creation. There is neither a government law college nor an engineering college in the district, and no government seems to be concerned about it, he added. The district ranks second in the State in terms of farmer suicides, but the State and Central governments are not focusing on improving farmers' lives here, he said. Mr. Jagadish Surya urged the government to establish ward-level clinics and strengthen primary health centres in the district. He also demanded that farmers cultivating gomala (common) and forest lands be issued cultivation rights. Homage was also paid to the former Chief Minister of Kerala V.S. Achuthanandan who died recently.

'Confront Them…': UK Woman's Tirade On Hindi-Speaking Staff At London Airport Sparks Outrage
Lucy White, a British woman, faced backlash online for criticizing Marks & Spencer staff at Heathrow for speaking Hindi. Netizens called her rant discriminatory and unnecessary. A British woman has come under fire on social media for criticising Marks & Spencer employees at London's Heathrow Airport for speaking in Hindi. The netizens have slammed her rant on social media as discriminatory and unnecessary. In a now viral post, the woman, identified as Lucy White- who describes herself as a Public Policy Specialist – said she had just landed at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 and stopped by an M&S outlet where she overheard three staff members conversing in a 'different language". White asked the employees what language they were speaking in, and was told they were conversing in Hindi – the most widely spoken language in India. White further claimed she recorded their speech and had plans to report them to Marks & Spencer. 'I asked them 'What language are you speaking?' They responded 'Hindi'. I have a voice recording and their names to report to M&S. We must confront them every time," she said in a post on X. 'I don't see the issue with this. If I go to France with my wife, I'll speak English with her — it's our native tongue. What am I missing here?" one user asked. Another questioned her outrage, saying, 'What arrogance. If they're not dealing with customers, what's the problem? Did you speak fluent Spanish during your entire holiday in Spain?" Many argued that speaking in one's native language among colleagues shouldn't be an issue, 'So long as they're not addressing you in Hindi, why is it your business? Staff are allowed to talk to each other in their own language while doing routine work. This is not racism — this is common sense." 'I've worked with three Polish colleagues for over 20 years. They speak to each other in Polish and to me in perfect English. I don't see why that should be a problem for anyone," commented another user. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
