HC held that ex-parte order violated principles of natural justice by failing to serve show cause notice to the petitioner, thereby denying opportunity of being heard. Strict interpretation of tax statutes mandates procedural compliance, particularly regarding personal hearing requirements.

Consequently, the impugned order was declared unsustainable, and the petitioner was directed to be afforded a fresh opportunity to present its case before the competent authority.
