The HC quashed adjudication orders passed under s.74 of the Jharkhand GST Act, 2017, as they were issued without granting the petitioner an opportunity for personal hearing, violating principles of natural justice. The court noted that state tax authorities continue to conduct proceedings in disregard of mandatory statutory provisions, resulting in potential revenue loss. Despite previous directions in M/s. Godavari Commodities Limited (2022) instructing the Commissioner to issue guidelines on proper procedures, compliance was lacking. The court allowed both writ petitions with costs, quashing the impugned adjudication orders dated 05.06.2024 and 10.07.2024, and remanded the matter for fresh consideration following proper procedure.
