The HC ruled that a GST demand against a deceased individual without issuing a show cause notice to their legal representative is invalid. While Section 93 of the GST Act addresses the liability of legal representatives to pay tax, interest, or penalties after a proprietor's death, it does not authorize determinations against deceased persons. The court held that issuing notice to and seeking response from the legal representative is a prerequisite before making any determination. Consequently, the determination made against the deceased without proper notice to the legal representative was unsustainable and the petition was allowed.
