HC allowed the petition challenging a tax order under GST Act, finding procedural irregularities in the proceedings against a deceased proprietor. The court held that Section 93 prohibits determination of tax liability against a deceased person without issuing a show cause notice to the legal representative. The tax department's order was deemed void ab initio as it failed to follow mandatory legal procedures for initiating proceedings against a deceased taxpayer's estate, thereby rendering the entire tax determination process invalid and unenforceable.
