The HC quashed the impugned order dated 14.08.2025, issued under section 73 for the tax period April 2020-March 2021, holding it arbitrary and in manifest violation of the principles of natural justice. The court observed the order followed a SCN in GST DRC-01 but lacked reasons and denied fair hearing. The matter is remitted to the respondent for de novo adjudication on merits, with a direction to afford the petitioner an opportunity of hearing before passing any fresh order. The respondent shall complete the reassessment and pass a reasoned order within six weeks of receipt of this judgment. The petition is disposed of by remand.
