Ex Parte Tax Assessment Invalidated: Procedural Defect in Notice Service Violates Natural Justice Principles, Order Set Aside

Case Laws GST HC

HC set aside ex parte assessment order due to violation of natural justice principles. The order was passed without proper service of show cause notice, as notices were uploaded in an obscure portal column rendering them effectively unnoticed by the petitioner. The Deputy Commissioner's rejection of appeal on limitation grounds was overruled. The HC remanded the matter for fresh consideration, with the petitioner willing to pay 15% of disputed tax. The procedural defect in service of notice fundamentally invalidated the original assessment, ensuring the petitioner's right to fair hearing was reinstated.
