Effective opportunity to file a merits reply and seek procedural safeguards in GST adjudication was required where the taxpayer claimed belated awareness of a common show-cause notice and needed records for reconciliation. In the absence of established repeated adjournments, deliberate avoidance, or clear prior service, the High Court doubted the validity of an order passed without a merits reply.
