Uploading a GST show cause notice solely under the portal's "Additional Notice and Orders" tab, without separate intimation, denied the taxpayer an effective opportunity to reply and breached the principles of natural justice. As the statutory appeal was dismissed solely on limitation without consideration on merits, the show cause notice, adjudication order and appellate order were quashed. Fresh proceedings were directed through a fresh show cause notice, an opportunity of hearing, and a reasoned adjudication.
