2022 (6) TMI 358 - HC - GSTSeeking to allow petitioner to adjust the credit amount which was blocked - Section 74(5) of the Tamilnadu Goods and Services Tax Act - HELD THAT:- The issue has already been settled in numbers of cases, where, as per the Scheme under Section 74 of the act, first notice should be given or option should be given to the dealer under Section 74(5) of the Act and if the option is not utilised or responded by the petitioner dealer, then only further notice under Section 74(1) should be issued, thereafter, on receipt of reply or otherwise and considering the same, after giving personal hearing, the Revenue should continue to proceed with Section 74 proceedings. Here in the case in hand, in the notice dated 01.11.2021, it is wrongly mentioned as Form GST ASMT-10 and that has been replied on 24.11.2021. Thereafter, straight away the order under Section 74(1) was issued on 09.12.2021. Therefore, it is a clear case where procedure contemplated under Section 74 especially, under Section 74(5) has not been complied with. Therefore, on that ground, this Court is inclined to set aside the order and remand the matter back to the respondents. The matter is remanded back to the respondents for reconsideration and while reconsidering the same, the procedure contemplated especially in the context of Section 74(5) and 74(1) should be strictly followed by giving an opportunity to the petitioner including personal hearing - Petition disposed off.
