Misclassification between copra and dry coconut: customs recovery and re-valuation quashed for lack of prior licensing-authority invalidation, appeals...
Section 75(4) of the GST Act was treated as a mandatory requirement for granting personal hearing before passing an adverse order, and the taxpayer's selection of "No" in the reply form did not override that statutory obligation. The adverse order was therefore unsustainable for breach of audi alteram partem and natural justice. The order was quashed and the matter remanded for fresh adjudication after affording a hearing within the time fixed by the Court.
