Quick Summary: Mohd Mohsin Malik's business registration was canceled by the Deputy State Tax Officer. The court has now given him a chance to appeal this decision.

The Case Begins

Mohd Mohsin Malik, the owner of M/s M M Enterprises in Hyderabad, found himself in a tough spot. The Deputy State Tax Officer canceled his business registration on July 9, 2025. This was a big deal for Mohd Mohsin Malik, as his business couldn't legally operate without this registration.

Court Steps In

Mohd Mohsin Malik decided to take the matter to court. He wanted the court to undo the cancellation of his registration. His lawyer, Mr. Shaik Jeelani Basha, presented his case to the judges: Chief Justice Sri Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin.

A New Opportunity

After listening to both sides, the court didn't immediately reverse the cancellation. Instead, they gave Mohd Mohsin Malik a new path to follow. The court said:

"We allow the petitioner to approach respondent No.1 to ask for the cancellation to be undone."

This means Mohd Mohsin Malik can directly request the Deputy State Tax Officer to reconsider the cancellation.

The Timeline Set

The court laid out a clear timeline for Mohd Mohsin Malik. He must make his request within one week. Once he does, the Deputy State Tax Officer has two weeks to make a decision.

No Opinions Given

The judges made it clear they weren't taking sides just yet. They stated:

"We have not expressed any opinion on the merits of the case of the parties."

This means they haven't decided who's right or wrong.

Case Closed for Now

For now, the court has wrapped up the case. They didn't assign any costs, meaning neither side has to pay for court expenses.

Mohd Mohsin Malik now has a chance to get his business back on track if the Deputy State Tax Officer agrees to his request.
