GST law recognises uploading a show-cause notice on the GST portal as valid service, so absence of physical delivery does not prevent the recipient from responding. Because the notices were available on the portal but no response was filed, a natural justice challenge based solely on non-service was rejected. Following cancellation of registration for non-filing of returns, statutory remedies for revival and appeal were available but not pursued. The writ remedy could not be used after expiry of the appeal period to bypass the statutory scheme, including pre-deposit requirements; merits such as subsequent filing of returns were left for statutory appeal. The writ petition was therefore dismissed.
