Demand orders set aside for violating natural justice; fresh reply allowed under GST rules 16(4)
Case-Laws
GST
The HC set aside the impugned demand orders and remanded the matter to the Adjudicating Authority due to violation of natural justice principles. The Court held that the SCN, issued prior to changes in the GST portal making the 'Additional Notices Tab' visible, was not properly communicated to the Petitioner, depriving them of a fair opportunity to respond. Consequently, no reply was filed by the Petitioner. The matter was remitted for fresh consideration, allowing the Petitioner thirty days to file a reply to the SCN, ensuring compliance with procedural fairness. The petition was disposed of accordingly.
