Writ Petition Dismissed: Failure to Update Address Leads to Valid Adjudication; Natural Justice Claim Rejected.
The HC dismissed the writ petition challenging Ext. P3 under Section 73(9) of the CGST/KSGST Act, 2017, due to alleged lack of notice and violation of natural justice. The court held that the petitioner failed to update their communication address, leading to valid adjudication proceedings at the provided address. Consequently, the claim of natural justice violation was dismissed, and the petition was not entertained. The court indicated that other legal remedies might still be available to the petitioner.
Issues: Challenge to Ext. P3 order under Section 73(9) of CGST/KSGST Act, 2017 based on lack of notice and violation of natural justice.
Analysis: The petitioner, an assessee under CGST/KSGST Rules, challenged Ext. P3 order issued under Section 73(9) of the Act by the 1st respondent, alleging lack of notice and violation of natural justice. The petitioner contended that the shop being closed in 2020, notices sent to the shop's address prevented response or appeal. However, Ext. P3 indicated a show cause notice was issued under Section 73(1) to the petitioner, who failed to reply or submit documents against the proposal. The court noted the petitioner's responsibility to update the communication address with the Department, emphasizing that failure to do so could result in notices being sent to the provided address for adjudication. As the correct address was not intimated, the petitioner's claim of natural justice violation due to lack of notice was dismissed. Consequently, the writ petition under Article 226 was not entertained.
The judgment clarified that the petitioner's failure to update the address for communication with the Department led to notices being sent to the shop's address, where the petitioner was unaware of the proceedings. As the State Tax Officer can only send notices to the address provided, completion of adjudication proceedings at that address was deemed valid. The court emphasized that the petitioner's failure to update the address precluded a complaint of natural justice violation, as Ext. P3 was not impugned on those grounds. Ultimately, the court dismissed the writ petition, while indicating that other legal remedies may still be pursued by the petitioner in accordance with the law.
