Analysis: Issue 1: Impugning order cancelling GST registration The petitioner challenged the order dated 10.01.2024 cancelling their GST registration. The petitioner contended that they were aware of a Show Cause Notice dated 16.12.2023 proposing the cancellation but could not respond before the registration was cancelled. The respondent, however, stated that a deposit had been made by the petitioner as per their instructions. Issue 2: Failure to respond to Show Cause Notice The petitioner acknowledged receiving a detailed Show Cause Notice dated 15.12.2023, mentioning reasons for cancellation, including non-deposit of cash towards tax for output supplies exceeding Rs 15 Lacs. Subsequently, the petitioner made a deposit of Rs. 4,48,100/- on 13.05.2024. The application for revocation based on this deposit was rejected.

They indicated that the department would reconsider the cancellation of GST registration in light of this deposit. Issue 4: Rejection of application for revocation Despite the deposit made by the petitioner, the application for revocation was rejected. This led to the petitioner seeking relief from the court against the cancellation of their GST registration. Issue 5: Re-adjudication of Show Cause Notice The High Court set aside the order of cancellation dated 10.01.2024 and remitted the matter to the proper office for re-adjudication of the Show Cause Notice dated 16.12.2023 within four weeks.
