The High Court set aside the impugned tax demand order due to violation of principles of natural justice, as the petitioner was not provided a reasonable opportunity to contest the tax demand on merits. The petitioner was unaware of the proceedings culminating in the order, which related to a mismatch between the petitioner's GSTR 3B returns and the auto-populated GSTR 2A. The court permitted the petitioner to submit a reply to the show cause notice after remitting 10% of the disputed tax demand, in the interest of justice, to contest the tax demand on merits. The petition was disposed of on this condition.
