Where a show cause notice was uploaded on the GST portal's "Additional Notices Tab" before the tab was made visible and the taxpayer did not become aware of it, such portal-only uploading was held to have denied a meaningful opportunity of hearing, vitiating the adjudication; consequently, the demand order was set aside and the matter remanded for fresh adjudication after permitting a reply and ensuring hearing notices are also communicated by email.
