Mere uploading of a show-cause notice on the GST common portal, without service by at least two prescribed modes, was held insufficient and contrary to Section 169 and natural justice. The ex parte cancellation of GST registration was therefore vitiated and set aside. The appellate order was also found unsustainable because it overlooked the invalid foundational cancellation order and the absence of a real opportunity to respond. The authorities were left free to initiate fresh proceedings by issuing proper notice and passing a reasoned order in accordance with law.
