Principles of natural justice violated due to lack of reasonable opportunity to contest tax demand. Petitioner cited ongoing tax audit and father's illness for seeking adjournment, but failed to submit substantive reply from September 2023 to February 2024 despite sufficient time. Considering health records submitted, petitioner granted opportunity to contest demand by remitting 10% of disputed tax within three weeks. Matter remanded for reconsideration after compliance.
