The text addresses cancellation of GST registration for alleged fraudulent input tax credit and the validity of a show cause notice. It holds that a notice referring only to statutory provisions without specifying transactions or factual basis fails to disclose reasons and cannot sustain cancellation; accordingly the defective notice and consequent cancellation were set aside. Simultaneously, on prima facie material of large scale fraud the authorities were authorised to issue a fresh show cause notice and complete time bound adjudication; an interim stay was continued for six weeks and registration must be restored if proceedings are not concluded for reasons not attributable to the registrant.
