Defective GST cancellation notice violates natural justice, restoring registration and allowing fresh proceedings in law
Case-Laws
GST
GST registration cancellation founded on a show cause notice that failed to disclose specific allegations, facts or particulars was held unsustainable for breach of natural justice. The HC found that mere reference to statutory provisions did not afford a reasonable opportunity to respond to allegations of fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of facts, so the petitioner was prevented from filing an effective reply. The cancellation order was set aside and registration directed to be restored forthwith, with liberty to the authority to issue a fresh notice and proceed in accordance with law.
