The High Court found a violation of the principles of natural justice due to the Assessing Authority's denial of an oral hearing opportunity. The court held that even if the petitioner did not request a personal hearing, the Authority must still provide it before making an adverse decision, especially in cases with significant civil liability. Upholding the principle of natural justice, the Court emphasized the necessity of a genuine opportunity for hearing before rejecting explanations and imposing demands. The case was remitted to the Assistant Commissioner to issue a fresh notice to the petitioner within two weeks for a proper hearing.
