Consequently, the excess claimed Input Tax Credit was ordered to be reversed.The Court quashed the impugned order and directed the respondent to pass a fresh order on merits. The impugned order was treated as a corrigendum to the earlier notice, and the respondent was instructed to issue a fresh show cause notice within 45 days. The petitioner was given 30 days to respond, and the respondent was required to pass a fresh order expeditiously, preferably within two months, ensuring the petitioner's right to be heard.In conclusion, the Writ Petition was allowed with the above directions, and no costs were awarded.
