The HC allowed the petition, holding that principles of natural justice were violated by uploading the show-cause notice on the GST portal without physically serving the Petitioner and without affording a hearing. The Court found the petitioner's explanation for a 288-day delay in filing the appeal to be bona fide and, accordingly, set aside the impugned order dated 28.03.2025 passed by Respondent 1 and condoned the 288-day delay. Conditionally permitting the appeal to proceed, the HC directed the Petitioner to remit an additional deposit of 5% of the disputed tax demand, over and above the 10% statutory deposit (as agreed), to Respondent 2 within four weeks of receipt of the order. Petition disposed.
