2024 (5) TMI 256 - MADRAS HIGH COURTImposition of GST on vouchers - Validity of assessment order - unreasoned impugned order - violation of principles of natural justice - HELD THAT:- The respondent summarized the contentions of the petitioner. After doing so, the sweeping conclusion that the argument was not valid is recorded. The respondent also records that vouchers are in the nature of actionable claims, which are included within the definition of goods under Section 2(52) of the CGST Act. Conspicuous by its absence in the impugned order, is the recording of reasons as to why the contentions of the petitioner were rejected. Since the impugned order is unreasoned in this respect, such order is unsustainable. The impugned order is set aside only insofar as it relates to the imposition of GST on vouchers. As a consequence, this issue is remanded for re-consideration by the respondent. After providing a reasonable opportunity to the petitioner, including a personal hearing, the respondent is directed to issue a fresh speaking order after duly taking note of and dealing with each contention raised by the petitioner in this regard. Petition disposed off by way of remand.
