The impugned orders u/s 16(2)(c) of the CGST/DGST Act, 2017 demanding excess Input Tax Credit (ITC) due to non-reconciliation of information are set aside as they lack reasoning and violate principles of natural justice by not dealing with explanations submitted. The Court noticed a pattern of unreasoned orders being passed near the limitation period's expiry, merely reproducing show cause notice details without addressing taxpayer explanations. The respondent conceded the retrospective GST registration cancellation of M/s Feron Life Sciences was restored, a relevant factor for considering the petitioner's demand. Consequently, the matter is remanded to the Proper Officer for fresh consideration, examining the petitioner's reply and affording a personal hearing opportunity. The petition is disposed of by way of remand.
