Issues involved: Lack of pre-assessment notice/show cause notice u/s Tamil Nadu Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017.Summary:Issue 1: Lack of pre-assessment notice/show cause noticeThe petitioner challenged an order passed u/s Tamil Nadu Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, alleging no pre-assessment notice was issued. The impugned order referred to a notice dated 20.09.2019 and Form DRC 01 dated 05.02.2020, which the petitioner claimed were never received physically or online. The officer contended that the notice was issued online, but the petitioner presented a screen shot of notices issued, which did not include the mentioned notices. As there was no response to the notices, a demand was raised on transitional credit with interest. The court found the documentary evidence provided by the petitioner, showing the absence of the mentioned notices, to be conclusive. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, and the Writ Petition was allowed with no costs.
