HC set aside a GST demand order under Section 73 of CGST Act due to improper consideration of petitioner's reply. The court remitted the show cause notice to the Proper Officer for re-adjudication, directing the petitioner to submit a further reply within 30 days and mandating a fresh speaking order after providing an opportunity for personal hearing. All substantive rights were reserved.
Issues involved: Impugned order under Section 73 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017; Proper consideration of petitioner's reply; Setting aside of the impugned order for re-adjudication.

Proper consideration of petitioner's reply: The petitioner had submitted a detailed reply dated 11.10.2023 to the Show Cause Notice, addressing various issues raised by the Department with supporting documents. However, the impugned order found the reply unsatisfactory without proper consideration, stating that no proper reply justifying the facts of the case was submitted.
Setting aside of the impugned order for re-adjudication: The Court held that the Proper Officer did not properly consider the detailed reply submitted by the petitioner and did not provide an opportunity for clarification or further details.
