Tax Order Quashed: Lack of Personal Hearing Violates Statutory Rights, Mandates Fair Administrative Process Under Section 75(4)
HC of Allahabad allowed a writ petition challenging tax order, finding violation of statutory requirement for personal hearing under Section 75(4). The court quashed the original order and directed tax authorities to provide petitioner a personal hearing and issue a reasoned order within six weeks, emphasizing principles of natural justice in administrative proceedings.
Issues Involved: The issue involves the requirement of providing a personal hearing u/s 75(4) of the Uttar Pradesh Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 before passing orders related to tax imposition.
Summary: The High Court of Allahabad, in a writ petition u/s Article 226 of the Constitution of India, addressed the grievance of the petitioner regarding an order passed by the Additional Commissioner, Grade - 2, State Tax, Etawah. The court noted that the petitioner was not afforded a personal hearing, which is mandatory u/s 75(4) of the Act. The court emphasized the significance of the word "or" in the statute, highlighting the dual scenarios where a personal hearing must be provided - either upon application by the individual or in the event of contemplation of an adverse order. The court stressed that personal hearing is essential for procedural fairness and natural justice, allowing individuals to present their case and respond to allegations. Referring to previous judgments, the court held that orders cannot bypass the principles of natural justice, and the opportunity of hearing must be given before passing orders.
In light of the above, the court issued a writ of certiorari against the orders in question, quashing them and directing the Assistant Commissioner, State Tax Sector-3, Fatehgrah to grant the petitioner a personal hearing and pass a reasoned order within six weeks. The writ petition was allowed, emphasizing the importance of providing a fair opportunity for personal hearing in tax-related matters.
