The HC set aside an ex-parte assessment order under Section 74 for lack of reasoning and violation of natural justice principles. The petitioner challenged the assessment arising from a typographical error in their return where a decimal point was inadvertently omitted. The impugned order merely recorded issuance of show cause notice DRC-01A and absence of reply on the online portal, leading to ex-parte proceedings.

The HC found the order unsustainable due to absence of detailed reasoning and remitted the matter to the proper officer for re-adjudication in accordance with law.
