Assessment orders against deceased individual declared void; legal reps/heirs to participate. Compliance emphasized.
The court held that assessment orders against a deceased individual were null and void, directing the identification of legal representatives or heirs for participation in assessment proceedings. The orders were deemed invalid due to the individual's demise, emphasizing compliance and due process in such cases. The writ petition was disposed of with directions for the 1st respondent to proceed lawfully in the assessment process.
Issues: 1. Legality and arbitrariness of orders Exts.P3 to P3(1). 2. Compliance with Section 93 of CGST Act. 3. Service of show cause notices. 4. Validity of assessment orders against a deceased individual. 5. Legal representatives or heirs in assessment proceedings.
Analysis: 1. The petitioner challenged the legality and arbitrariness of orders Exts.P3 to P3(1) on the grounds that no orders can be passed against a deceased individual under the statute, Section 93 of CGST Act provisions were not followed, and show cause notices were not served by the 1st respondent. The petitioner sought to quash these orders through the writ petition.
2. The Court considered the plea that the assessment orders against a deceased individual were null and void. It was established that the individual in question had passed away before the assessment orders were issued, making the orders a legal nullity. The Court directed the 1st respondent to identify the legal representatives or heirs of the deceased assessee and provide them with an opportunity to be heard before finalizing the assessment proceedings in accordance with the law.
3. The Court clarified that its intervention was solely based on the fact that the assessment orders were issued against a deceased individual, rendering them invalid. Other issues were left open for further consideration. The writ petition was disposed of with these observations and directions, allowing the 1st respondent to take fresh action in the assessment proceedings after identifying the legal representatives or heirs of the deceased assessee.
This judgment highlights the importance of legal compliance and due process in assessment proceedings, emphasizing the need for proper representation and adherence to statutory provisions, especially when dealing with cases involving deceased individuals.
