GST Registration Cancellation Overturned: Procedural Fairness Prevails with Insufficient Reasoning in Show Cause Notice
The HC found the GST registration cancellation order invalid due to lack of specific reasons in the Show Cause Notice. The court held that the order violated principles of natural justice, set aside the cancellation, and directed restoration of the petitioner's GST registration, thereby protecting the taxpayer's procedural rights.
Issues involved: Impugning an order cancelling GST registration based on a Show Cause Notice lacking reasons and violating principles of natural justice.
Summary: The petitioner filed a petition challenging an order cancelling their GST registration, along with a Show Cause Notice (SCN) lacking reasons. Respondent no. 3 issued the SCN proposing cancellation of GST registration for "Others" without providing any specific reason. The petitioner's GST registration was suspended and later cancelled with retrospective effect, without any valid reasons mentioned in the impugned order. The Court found both the SCN and the order to be unsustainable as they lacked reasons and violated principles of natural justice. Consequently, the petition was allowed, setting aside the impugned SCN and order, and directing the restoration of the petitioner's GST registration.
