In Brief
Gennex Laboratories challenged a High Court order rejecting its writ petition regarding sales tax matters. The Supreme Court noted the appellant had not pursued the available statutory remedy before the Sales Tax Tribunal. Setting aside the High Court's judgment, the Court held it just and equitable to grant the appellant 30 days to file a statutory appeal before the Tribunal, treating it as timely filed. The related Civil Appeal No. 8766 of 2017 was disposed of by restoring the Tribunal proceedings for consolidated hearing, without the Court addressing the merits.
