2022 (12) TMI 1102 - HC - GSTCancellation of registration of petitioner - no valid reason provided - HELD THAT:- Perusal of both these orders dated 26.05.2022 and 11.10.2022 show that no valid reason was given for cancellation of registration. Despite requested for, no details were provided and prima facie reply of the petitioners have not been considered. To our opinion, the show-cause notice dated 26.05.2022 does not specify the reason for which the allegation of wrongful availment or utilization of Input Tax Credit (ITC) or refund of tax is made. As the show-cause notice does not contain reason to justify the action of the respondent, it is violative of principles of natural justice. As held by this Court in AGGARWAL DYEING AND PRINTING WORKS VERSUS STATE OF GUJARAT & 2 OTHER (S) [2022 (4) TMI 864 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT], reasons are heart and soul of the order and non-communication of the same itself amounts to denial of reasonable opportunity of hearing resulting into miscarriage of justice. Therefore, applying the same principle, as the show-cause notice dated 26.05.2022 is bereft of any reasons, the same deserves to be quashed and set aside and hereby quashed and set aside. The order of cancellation of registration dated 11.10.2022 is also quashed and set aside. Petition disposed off.
