Procedural Fairness Prevails: Notice Defect Invalidates Demand Order, Grants Petitioner 30-Day Response Window Under Natural Justice Principles

April 30, 2025

Case Laws     GST     HC

HC ruled that the Petitioner was denied natural justice due to improper service of Show Cause Notice (SCN), which was uploaded on an 'additional notices tab' without actual knowledge. The court directed the Petitioner be granted a 30-day period to file a reply to the SCN. The Adjudicating Authority must provide a fair hearing before proceeding, and the previous demand order was consequently set aside. The petition was disposed of, ensuring procedural fairness and the Petitioner's right to respond to allegations.
