The central issue was whether a show-cause notice under Section 74 CGST could consolidate alleged short-payments across different financial years/tax periods. Relying on binding Division Bench precedent, the court held that an assessing authority lacks jurisdiction to issue composite assessment or club periods in a single notice; accordingly, such consolidation is ultravires and invalid - the September 2023 show-cause notice was quashed and set aside.
