GST Registration Cancellation Overturned: Procedural Errors Invalidate Notice, Restoration Ordered with Right to Reissue Proceedings
HC found the GST registration cancellation invalid due to procedural defects. The Show-Cause Notice lacked specific reasons, violating natural justice principles. The court set aside the cancellation order and directed restoration of registration, while preserving the tax authority's right to initiate fresh proceedings if legally justified.
Issues involved: The issues involved in the judgment are the impugning of a Show-Cause Notice (SCN) calling for the cancellation of GST registration, the subsequent cancellation order, the application for revocation of the cancellation, and the failure to decide on the revocation application.
Impugning the Show-Cause Notice and Cancellation Order: The petitioner challenged a Show-Cause Notice (SCN) dated 20.04.2022, calling for the cancellation of GST registration, and an order dated 15.11.2022, cancelling the registration. The SCN failed to provide specific reasons for the proposed cancellation, rendering it incapable of eliciting a meaningful response. The cancellation order, based on reasons not mentioned in the SCN, was deemed void for violating principles of natural justice.
Application for Revocation and Failure to Decide: The petitioner filed an application for revocation of the cancellation order, but it had not been decided. Subsequently, a Show-Cause Notice dated 16.12.2022 was issued, proposing to reject the revocation application on the grounds of failure to join an investigation by the Anti-Evasion Branch. The petitioner responded, refuting the allegation and stating compliance with the investigation, but no decision was made on the application even after ten months.
Judgment: The High Court set aside the SCN and the cancellation order, directing the restoration of the petitioner's GST registration. It was clarified that the restoration did not prevent the respondent from initiating fresh proceedings for cancellation if justified by law. The petition was allowed in the mentioned terms.
