2024 (4) TMI 509 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURTAttachment order - SCN was not uploaded on the portal - SCN that was mandatory to be issued before any penalty may have been imposed, remained to be uploaded by way of attachment - inadvertent error - principles of natural justice - HELD THAT:- Owing to such inadvertent error, the right of the petitioner to object to the notice and his right to hearing was completely compromised. Unless the notice had been served on the petitioner with all its contents and annexures, if any, the petitioner may never have availed his opportunity to effectively object to the notice and participate in the personal hearing - It is beyond doubt that the petitioner had a perfect right to object to the show cause notice and he had a near perfect right to personal hearing. Perusal of the print out of the dashboard display clearly indicates that the respondent authority also did not seek to deny such right to the petitioner. Occasioned by the inadvertence, noted above, those rights came to be denied to the petitioner - no useful purpose may ever be served in keeping such a petition pending or calling for counter affidavit at this stage. Petition disposed off.
