Assessment order invalid for missing DIN, with delayed writ entertained subject to deposit and remand for fresh hearing.
Case-Laws
GST
Absence of a Document Identification Number in an assessment order was treated as a patent defect rendering the order unsustainable, and the assessment was set aside with remand for fresh consideration after notice and hearing. Although the writ petition was delayed and the order had been uploaded on the portal, the Court entertained the petition in view of the inherent defect and practical difficulties in the GST online regime, subject to deposit of 20% of the disputed tax. The period spent in the writ proceedings was directed to be excluded, and all issues were left open before the Assessing Officer.
