Case Laws GST HC

HC set aside the tax notice (N/N. 56/2023) due to procedural irregularities in service of Show Cause Notice (SCN). The court found fundamental violations of natural justice, as the SCN was undated and not properly received by the Petitioner. Following precedential rulings in similar tax dispute cases, the court remanded the matter back to the tax authorities, directing them to provide a fair opportunity for the Petitioner to file a reply and receive a personal hearing. The decision mandates a de novo review of the case, ensuring the Petitioner can present their submissions on merits before any final determination.
