Cancellation of GST registration was quashed because the order was non-speaking and failed to record reasons as required by FORM GST REG-19 and Rule 22. The High Court held that, although non-filing of returns may justify cancellation, the proper officer must still disclose the basis for forming the opinion to cancel registration; mere reference to the show cause notice and the effective date was insufficient.

The matter was restored to the show cause stage for fresh decision in accordance with law.
