The High Court allowed the petitions challenging the assessment orders for 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20 on the grounds of limitation and violation of principles of natural justice. Regarding limitation, the court held that the extended due dates for filing returns fell within the limitation period after excluding the period from 15.03.2020 to 28.02.2022 as per the Supreme Court's directions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The assessment orders were set aside for violating the statutory mandate of providing an opportunity for personal hearing u/s 75(4) of the GST Acts. The matters were remitted to the respective Assessing Officers to issue notices for personal hearing, hear the assessees if they appear, and pass orders within three months from the judgment date or the remaining limitation period, whichever is later.
