Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
HC set aside assessment order for violation of natural justice principles regarding proper service of notice. Show cause notices and assessment order were served only through GST Portal upload under "Additional Notices and Orders" tab, without registered post or personal tender to petitioner. Despite petitioner's willingness to pay 25% disputed tax, Court found inadequate service as officer failed to explore alternative service modes under Section 169 GST Act when petitioner remained unresponsive to portal notices. Court held that merely uploading notices constitutes empty formalities rather than effective service, leading to ex parte assessment without personal hearing opportunity. Matter remanded to respondent for fresh consideration with proper service procedures. Petition allowed through remand order.
