GST Registrations Restored After Cancellation Orders Set Aside for Procedural Violations Under Section 29(2)
Case-Laws
GST
The HC set aside orders cancelling GST registrations under CGST/SGST Acts 2017, finding procedural violations by the Proper Officer. The court determined that cancellation under Section 29(2) requires proper notice and meaningful opportunity for hearing per Rule 22, not mere formality. Despite petitioners' failure to respond to show cause notices, the impugned orders erroneously referenced non-existent replies, rendering the proceedings defective. While revocation applications were time-barred (exceeding 270 days under Rule 23), the court intervened due to jurisdictional errors. The registrations were restored with conditions, including extended deadlines for filing annual returns except for 2024-2025, which remains governed by Section 44 requirements.
