The HC disposed of the petition challenging a GST assessment order characterized as non-speaking and violative of Section 75(6) of the GST Act. Rather than adjudicating on merits, the Court granted the petitioner liberty to approach the appellate Deputy Commissioner (State Tax) within two weeks, directing the appellate authority to entertain the appeal without reference to limitation periods and dispose of it within three months. The Court ordered status quo to be maintained in the interim. The petitioner was permitted to raise all grounds from the writ petition in the appeal, including violations of natural justice principles and the non-speaking nature of the impugned order.
