Natural justice in GST appeals requires a hearing and reasoned order; cryptic rejection was quashed and remanded.
Case-Laws
GST
Rejection of a GST appeal without affording a hearing and through a cryptic, unreasoned order violated principles of natural justice. The appellate order merely stated a reason for rejection, without supporting reasons, and incorrectly recorded the order-issuing authority. The High Court quashed the appellate order and remanded the appeal for a de novo hearing and a reasoned decision on merits, leaving the parties' substantive contentions open.
