Facts of the Case

M/s RFE Solar Private Limited had filed this writ petition impleading, among others, the Authority for Advance Ruling, GST, Rajasthan and the Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling, GST, Rajasthan, along with the Union of India, the State of Rajasthan and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The judgment does not set out the substantive GST question originally raised before the Advance Ruling Authority, since the petitioner's counsel sought to withdraw the petition before it was argued on merits.

Issues Involved

  1. Whether the petitioner should be permitted to withdraw the writ petition with liberty to revive it later, if the need arose.

Petitioner's Arguments

  • Counsel for the petitioner sought to withdraw the petition, with liberty to revive it should circumstances so require, without elaborating further reasons on record.

Respondent's Arguments

  • None recorded, as the matter concluded on the petitioner's own withdrawal request without contest.

Court Order / Findings

  • The Division Bench allowed the withdrawal as prayed for and dismissed the petition as withdrawn, granting liberty to revive it later if necessary.

Important Clarification

This order records no facts or reasoning about the underlying GST advance-ruling question that RFE Solar had originally brought before the Court — whatever dispute existed between the company and the GST Advance Ruling Authority for Rajasthan remains unresolved and was never argued. Readers should not infer any outcome, favourable or unfavourable, regarding the company's original GST advance-ruling grievance.

Sections Involved

  • Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 — Sections 96-101 (Authority and Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling), not adjudicated on merits

Decision – In Favour of

Neither party — writ petition dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to revive; no decision on the underlying GST advance-ruling dispute.
