All these three writ petitions pertain to assessment period 2021-22. The orders impugned in W.P.Nos.27453 & 27377 of 2026 were issued under Section 74 of applicable GST enactments and pertain to a single common issue, namely, input tax claim relating to cancelled dealers. The order challenged in W.P.No.27783 of 2026 relates to a proceeding under Section 73 of applicable GST enactments and covers three issues and the imposition of late fee. 2. Comparing the orders issued in the three matters, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the issue relating to reversal of Input Tax Credit (ITC)on account of the suppliers being cancelled dealers is common to all three cases. Therefore, he submits that only one of the three orders should survive and that the petitioner is willing to remit 25% of the tax demand relating to the surviving order as a condition for remand. 3. Mr.R.Sethu Prabakaran, learned Government Counsel (Tax), accepts notice for the respondent in all these matters. 4.
