Issues: Whether the adjudication and appeal orders were liable to be quashed for failure to serve the show cause notice and afford the petitioner an opportunity to file a reply and be heard.
Analysis: The petitioner asserted that the notice and subsequent proceedings were uploaded only on the GST portal and that the petitioner came to know of the adverse action only later, after which no effective opportunity to respond had been available. In these circumstances, the Court found that the petitioner had not been able to receive the show cause notice or file a reply. The Court held that the petitioner must be afforded an opportunity to submit a reply, whereafter the authority must reconsider the matter and pass a reasoned order after hearing the petitioner.
Conclusion: The impugned adjudication and appeal orders were quashed and the matter was remitted for fresh consideration after permitting the petitioner to file a reply and after grant of hearing, in accordance with law.
Final Conclusion: The petitioner obtained a remand-based relief with setting aside of the impugned orders, while the tax liability itself was left open for reconsideration by the authority.
Ratio Decidendi: Where a taxpayer shows that the show cause notice was not effectively received and no real opportunity to answer it was afforded, the resulting adjudication cannot be sustained and must be set aside for fresh decision after hearing.
