HC quashed assessment order for 2018-19 due to violation of natural justice principles under Section 169. Authority failed to serve proper notice seeking explanation regarding alleged defects.

Only upon impracticability of these methods can alternative publication through portal/newspaper be considered. Assessment order converted to show cause notice, allowing petitioner opportunity to respond. Decision upholds fundamental right to be heard before adverse action, reinforcing procedural safeguards in tax assessment proceedings.
