Right to be heard: deficient portal service of show-cause notices warrants remand and fresh personal hearings with replies considered.
Case-Laws
GST
Failure of electronic portal upload to effectuate show-cause notices denied the petitioner effective opportunity to be heard; the HC treated effective service and audi alteram partem as determinative and set aside the impugned ex-parte orders. The court remanded both matters, granted the petitioner four weeks to file replies, and directed the Adjudicating Authority to issue personal-hearing notices communicated via registered mobile number and email. The authority must consider the filed replies and oral submissions and pass fresh orders on the SCNs after personal hearings.
