Natural justice in GST registration cancellation: non-speaking orders without hearing were quashed and remanded for fresh adjudication.
Case-Laws
GST
HC quashed cancellation of GST registration and rejection of revocation because the show-cause notices and orders were non-speaking, lacked due consideration of the taxpayer's submissions, and were passed without affording a personal hearing. The Court held that cancellation of registration carries serious civil consequences and must comply with natural justice, including a reasoned decision. The impugned notices and consequential orders were set aside, and the matter was remanded to the original authority for fresh adjudication after hearing the petitioner and passing a speaking order.
