Issues: Whether a show cause notice and consequential order issued under Section 74 of the Uttar Pradesh Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 were liable to be quashed for want of allegations of fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of material facts, and for absence of reasons.
Analysis: Section 74 can be invoked only where the foundational ingredients of fraud, wilful misstatement or suppression of material facts are present. The show cause notice did not contain such allegations, and the subsequent order was also found to be bereft of reasons. The statutory preconditions for invoking the provision were therefore not satisfied.
Conclusion: The show cause notice and the consequential order were quashed and set aside, with liberty to proceed in accordance with law.
