Merger control notice and disclosure rules: Supreme Court limits penalties, rejects reopening of approved combination, and sets aside adverse findings...
HC held that systematic failure to provide personal hearing violates principles of natural justice under Section 75(4) of GST Act, 2017. The ex-parte assessment and cancellation of GST registration without ensuring personal service of notices constitutes procedural impropriety. The court critically emphasized the recurring administrative malpractice of uploading notices on portal without guaranteeing actual service. Consequently, the matter was remanded to the Joint Commissioner SGST, Corporate Circle-1, Ghaziabad to pass a fresh order after affording petitioner a proper opportunity of personal hearing, thereby allowing the petition and rectifying the procedural defect.
