The HC set aside the impugned order dated 28.04.2024, holding that proceedings under Section 73 were vitiated for failure to issue a formal, authenticated show-cause notice (SCN) as mandated by Section 73 and Rule 142(1)(a); a summary in FORM GST DRC-01 or an attached statement of tax determination cannot substitute for a proper SCN. The court found breach of principles of natural justice where the Summary and attachments in GST DRC-01/DRC-07 lacked proper authentication and did not afford a meaningful opportunity to respond. The respondents were granted liberty to initiate fresh proceedings de novo under Section 73 if deemed appropriate. Petition allowed.
