Tax Registration Cancellation Overturned: Procedural Flaws and Natural Justice Principles Protect Taxpayer's Rights to Fair Hearing
HC found procedural irregularities in tax registration cancellation. Despite alternative appeal remedy, court recognized principles of natural justice were violated. The petitioner was not adequately notified, and no hearing was conducted before cancellation. HC directed the petitioner to file an appeal within 30 days, with Appellate Authority mandated to decide the matter expeditiously, waiving limitation period concerns.
Issues involved: Challenge to order cancelling registration under Tamil Nadu Goods and Service Tax Act, 2017; Violation of principles of natural justice; Alternative remedy of filing an appeal.
Challenge to order cancelling registration: The petitioner, running a firm, had dhall products exempted from tax under TNGST Act. Due to the Accountant's failure to file returns for six months without informing the petitioner, a show cause notice was issued, leading to cancellation of registration. The petitioner argued lack of awareness about the notice and violation of natural justice as no hearing was provided before cancellation.
Violation of principles of natural justice: The respondent passed the cancellation order without giving the petitioner an opportunity to be heard. The petitioner's inability to file an appeal within the prescribed time due to personal circumstances was highlighted, leading to the decision to pursue a writ petition instead.
Alternative remedy of filing an appeal: The respondent contended that the petitioner should have appealed to the Appellate Authority instead of filing a writ petition directly. The petitioner explained the delay in filing the appeal was due to the husband's illness, justifying the approach taken.
Judgment: The Court acknowledged the lack of notice awareness and absence of a hearing before cancellation. It directed the petitioner to file an appeal before the Appellate Authority within 30 days, ensuring the appeal is entertained without raising grounds of limitation. The Appellate Authority was instructed to decide on the matter within 30 days.
