Facts of the Case

This is an MSME facilitation dispute, not a GST matter — "GST Road" appears only as part of the second respondent's Chennai office address, incidental to the case. Solar Design Pvt. Ltd. filed I.A.(Civil)/3695/2022 in the pending Writ Petition WP(C)/7217/2022 before the Gauhati High Court, against the Union of India and two others, including the Joint Director and Head of Office of the MSME Development and Facilitation Office and Numaligarh Refinery Limited. The one-line order disposing of the interlocutory application does not itself set out the underlying facts of the main writ petition.

Issues Involved
