Payment of the demanded tax, penalty and fine in GST detention and confiscation proceedings did not dispense with the proper officer's duty to adjudicate the show cause notice by a formal, reasoned order. The Court held that consideration of the taxpayer's reply and issuance of a speaking order are part of natural justice and necessary to preserve the statutory appellate remedy.

Liberty was granted to pass a fresh speaking order after personal hearing and complete the statutory summary.
