HC set aside ex parte assessment order due to violation of natural justice principles. The order was passed without proper service of show cause notice, as notices were uploaded in an obscure portal column rendering them effectively unnoticed by the petitioner.

The procedural defect in service of notice fundamentally invalidated the original assessment, ensuring the petitioner's right to fair hearing was reinstated.
