Service of a show cause notice solely by uploading it to the common portal was treated as ineffective where there was no acknowledgement of receipt or response from the assessee. An ex parte adjudication under Section 73 of the CGST Act founded on such notice could not be sustained because the assessee lacked an effective opportunity to reply. The ex parte order was set aside, with liberty to submit a response to the show cause notice. The competent authority must then conduct fresh adjudication and pass an order in accordance with law.
