            Counsel for the parties have brought to our notice that in the

aforementioned matter the Hon'ble Supreme Court has passed the following

directions on 22.07.2022:-

                  "Upon hearing the counsel the Court made the following
                                 ORDER

Permission to file Special Leave Petition (s) is allowed. Delay condoned.

Having heard learned Additional Solicitor General, learned counsel appearing for different States and learned counsel appearing for different private parties and having perused the record, we are of the view that it is just and proper to issue the following directions in these cases:

1 of 3

CWP-14607-2020 (O&M) -2-

1. Goods and Service Tax Network (GSTN) is directed to open common portal for filing concerned forms for availing Transitional Credit through TRAN-1 and TRAN -2 for two months i.e. w.e.f. 01.09.2022 to 31.10.2022.

2. Considering the judgments of the High Courts on the then prevailing peculiar circumstances, any aggrieved registered assessee is directed to file the relevant form or revise the already filed form irrespective of whether the taxpayer has filed writ petition before the High Court or whether the case of the taxpayer has been decided by Information Technology Grievance Redressal Committee (ITGRC).

3. GSTN has to ensure that there are no technical glitch during the said time.

4. The concerned officers are given 90 days thereafter to verify the veracity of the claim/transitional credit and pass appropriate orders thereon on merits after granting appropriate reasonable opportunity to the parties concerned.

5. Thereafter, the allowed Transitional credit is to be reflected in the Electronic Credit Ledger.

6. If required GST Council may also issue appropriate guidelines to the field formations in scrutinizing the claims.

The Special Leave Petitions are disposed of accordingly.

Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of."

Needless to observe that the afore-reproduced directions have to

be meticulously complied with by the authorities concerned.

                                      2 of 3

 CWP-14607-2020 (O&M)                                                    -3-

In view of the above, counsel for the petitioner does not press
