Opportunity of hearing in ITC claim under GST: lack of personal hearing rendered alternative remedy ineffective and order quashed
Case-Laws
GST
Section 75(4) of the GST regime requires that an opportunity of hearing be granted upon receipt of a request; failure to afford a personal hearing renders the impugned action procedurally infirm and susceptible to challenge. Where the authority refusing advance rulings is hierarchically superior to the appellate authority, the alternative remedy is ineffective as a practical and legal recourse, permitting invocation of constitutional relief. The practical effect is that absence of procedural hearing and an ineffective alternative remedy justifies setting aside the impugned administrative order.
