<h1>GST Order Invalidated for Procedural Errors: Incorrect Email Notices Breach Natural Justice Principles, Mandating Fresh Hearing</h1> HC ruled that GST Order-in-Original was invalid due to procedural defect. Notices for personal hearing were sent to incorrect email address, violating ... Principles of natural justice - right to personal hearing - service of notice by email - remand for fresh hearingPrinciples of natural justice - right to personal hearing - service of notice by email - Whether the Order-in-Original dated 28.11.2023 was vitiated by violation of principles of natural justice insofar as the petitioner was not served with notices for personal hearing at its registered email-id. - HELD THAT: - The Court noted that paragraph 14 of the impugned order records intimations for personal hearing on specified dates but those e-mails were sent to an address different from the petitioner's registered e-mail. The Department did not dispute that the petitioner had earlier notified its registered e-mail-id and that the intimations were inadvertently sent to another e-mail address recorded in the Departmental portal. In these circumstances the Court held that the petitioner was not afforded a fair opportunity of personal hearing and that the Order-in-Original was thereby tainted by breach of natural justice. The Court therefore set aside the impugned order to the limited extent of this defect and directed the petitioner to appear for personal hearing before the authorities on the specified date, with the authorities thereafter to proceed and pass a fresh order in accordance with law; the Court further directed that no further notice need be issued to the petitioner for that hearing. [Paras 3, 5, 6, 7]Impugned Order-in-Original quashed insofar as it is vitiated by denial of effective personal hearing; matter remanded for fresh personal hearing and fresh decision in accordance with law.Final Conclusion: Writ petition allowed to the extent that the Order-in-Original dated 28.11.2023 is set aside for violation of principles of natural justice; petitioner directed to appear for personal hearing on the date specified by the Court and the authority to pass a fresh order in accordance with law. Issues involved: Challenge to Order-in-Original No.73/GST/2023-24-Adjn.(ADC)-HYD-GST dated 28.11.2023 for violation of principles of natural justice.The petitioner challenged Order-in-Original No.73/GST/2023-24-Adjn.(ADC)-HYD-GST dated 28.11.2023, primarily on the grounds of violation of principles of natural justice. The petitioner contended that he was deprived of the right of personal hearing, which is a crucial part of the procedure to be followed before passing such orders. The petitioner claimed that despite references to repeated intimations for personal hearing on specific dates, those notices were not served on him as they were sent to an email address different from his registered one. This discrepancy prevented the petitioner from availing the opportunity of personal hearing as required by the Department.The Department argued that the petitioner had been given ample opportunities for a personal hearing before the Order-in-Original was passed. They contended that the petitioner failed to avail these opportunities and therefore cannot complain about not being granted a personal hearing. However, upon examination of the contents of the impugned order, it was evident that the notices for personal hearing were indeed sent to an email address different from the petitioner's registered one. The Department did not dispute the fact that the petitioner had previously informed them of his correct email address. This technical error led to the petitioner not receiving the notices and being deprived of a fair opportunity for a personal hearing.In light of the circumstances, the Court concluded that due to technicalities, the notices for personal hearing were not properly served on the petitioner, thereby denying him a fair opportunity to present his case. As a result, the Order-in-Original dated 28.11.2023 was set aside on the grounds of violating principles of natural justice. The petitioner was directed to appear before the authorities concerned on 07.03.2024 for a fresh personal hearing. Subsequently, the authorities were instructed to proceed with the case and issue a new order in compliance with the law. It was clarified that no further notice needed to be issued to the petitioner regarding this matter. The Writ Petition was allowed to the extent mentioned, and any pending miscellaneous petitions were to be closed without any costs being imposed.
