Legal Challenge Succeeds: GST Registration Cancellation Invalidated Due to Procedural Defects in Show Cause Notice
May 22, 2025
Case Laws GST HC
HC found the show cause notice procedurally defective due to lack of critical administrative details, rendering the GST registration cancellation order invalid. The notice failed to specify the issuing authority's name, designation, and hearing particulars. The cancellation order was deemed cryptic and demonstrated non-application of mind. Consequently, the HC set aside the show cause notice, cancellation orders, and recovery notice. The court permitted respondents to initiate fresh proceedings with a properly drafted show cause notice, ensuring due process and providing the petitioner full opportunity for personal hearing and representation.
