The court found the notice deficient in providing ... Cancellation of GST registration of petitioner - it is alleged that registration obtained by means of fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of facts - HELD THAT:- The Show Cause Notice is bereft of any specific reasons that could be addressed by the petitioner - It is well-settled that the Show Cause Notice is required to set out the relevant material in order to enable the noticee to meaningfully respond to the same.

Due to this deficiency, the Court set aside the impugned Show Cause Notice.The judgment clarified that while the current notice was quashed, the respondents were not barred from issuing a proper Show Cause Notice with specific reasons for any adverse action against the petitioner. Consequently, the order suspending the petitioner's GST registration was also annulled.Conclusion:In conclusion, the High Court's judgment invalidated the deficient Show Cause Notice due to its lack of specific allegations, emphasizing the importance of providing adequate details for a notice to be effectively responded to.
