An unsigned assessment order is invalid, because the assessing officer's signature is mandatory and Sections 160 and 169 of the CGST Act do not cure that defect. Service of an unsigned order cannot be treated as valid service under Rule 26(3) of the CGST Rules, so an objection based on delay in filing the writ petition failed. The impugned assessment order was set aside, liberty was reserved to complete a fresh assessment after due notice and with a duly signed order, and the intervening period was directed to be excluded for limitation.
