GST Show Cause Notice Upheld: Procedural Technicality Cannot Override Substantive Legal Communication Under Section 73

June 5, 2025

Case Laws GST HC

HC rejected the petition challenging a GST show cause notice, holding that an inadvertent misdescription in document title does not invalidate its substantive content. The court found the document clearly identifiable as a valid Section 73 notice through portal description, watermarks, and accompanying context. The ex-parte order was deemed sustainable, emphasizing that procedural errors do not negate the fundamental legal communication. The petitioner's attempt to challenge the notice based on title discrepancy was considered frivolous. Consequently, the court upheld the departmental proceedings and disposed of the petition, affirming the tax authority's right to issue notices despite minor formal inconsistencies.
