Legal Challenge Succeeds: Show Cause Notice Invalidated for Violating Natural Justice and Procedural Fairness Principles

Case Laws GST HC

HC quashed the summary of show cause notice and order for procedural violations under AGST Act, 2017. The court found that issuing a summary notice without providing an opportunity of hearing constituted a breach of natural justice principles. Following precedent in a similar case, the HC set aside the impugned orders and granted authorities liberty to initiate de novo proceedings under Section 73, if deemed appropriate. The decision emphasizes procedural fairness and the requirement of proper legal process in tax determination proceedings.
