A GST assessment order in Form GST DRC-07 issued without the assessing officer's signature is inherently invalid, because the signature is an indispensable requirement and its absence is a patent irregularity. Although the respondents objected on delay and relied on portal upload as service, the writ challenge was entertained in view of the defective order and practical difficulties under the online GST regime.
