Zydus Wellness Products Limited (ZWPL) wins Writ Appeal in the High Court of Sikkim.
Authorities directed to adjudicate ZWPL’s claims regarding budgetary support within 12 weeks.
The decision overturns an earlier ruling in favor of the Union of India.

Zydus Wellness Limited has announced a significant development in its ongoing legal battle over the denial of budgetary support under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. The High Court of Sikkim, in a judgment delivered by its Division Bench on December 13, 2024, has set aside an earlier order dismissing the claims of Zydus Wellness Products Limited (ZWPL). The case pertains to ZWPL’s entitlement to budgetary support, initially denied following its conversion from a partnership firm to a company structure.

Background of the Case

The dispute arose when the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce and Industry, arbitrarily denied budgetary support to ZWPL under a GST support scheme announced via notification on October 5, 2017. The company challenged this decision by filing a Writ Petition in the High Court of Sikkim, which was dismissed on September 12, 2023, favoring the respondents, including the Union of India.

Following the unfavorable ruling, ZWPL filed a Writ Appeal with the Division Bench of the same court, arguing against the earlier dismissal. The appeal emphasized the lack of opportunity for ZWPL to present its case and sought fair adjudication of its claims.

Judgment Details

In a significant reversal, the Division Bench of the High Court has now ruled in favor of ZWPL, directing the concerned authorities to:

Reconsider ZWPL’s claims under the GST budgetary support scheme.
Provide an opportunity of hearing to ZWPL.
Conclude the adjudication process within 12 weeks of the order date.

The judgment highlights the importance of adhering to principles of natural justice, ensuring ZWPL gets a fair chance to present its case.

Implications for Zydus Wellness

This ruling is a notable victory for Zydus Wellness, as it reopens the possibility of receiving the budgetary support crucial for its operations and future growth. The company remains committed to its legal and business objectives, focusing on leveraging favorable rulings to enhance stakeholder value.

Timely Updates and Legal Transparency

The judgment, officially downloaded on December 13, 2024, at 11:51 a.m., ensures ZWPL’s claims will be adjudicated in a timely and transparent manner. Zydus Wellness has assured stakeholders of its continued pursuit of legal remedies and adherence to regulatory norms.
