Issues: Whether the show cause notice for cancellation of GST registration was invalid for want of a definite date and time for appearance, and whether the consequential cancellation and rejection of revocation orders were liable to be set aside.
Analysis: The notice in Form GST REG-17, issued under Section 29 of the Telangana State Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 and Rule 22(1) of the Telangana State Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017, required the petitioner to respond within seven working days but mentioned the appearance date and time as undefined. In the absence of a definite date and time, the petitioner was deprived of a meaningful opportunity to contest the proposed cancellation. The defective notice therefore failed to satisfy the requirements of a proper show cause notice and amounted to a serious violation of natural justice. The consequential cancellation order and the later rejection of the revocation application were also unsustainable.
Conclusion: The show cause notice, the cancellation order, and the order rejecting revocation were set aside.
Final Conclusion: The registration-cancellation proceedings could not be sustained because the petitioner was not afforded a proper opportunity of hearing, though fresh proceedings were left open in accordance with law.
Ratio Decidendi: A show cause notice proposing cancellation of GST registration must specify a definite date and time for appearance so as to provide an effective opportunity of hearing; failure to do so vitiates the consequential action.
