Cancellation of GST registration was set aside because the impugned cancellation and revocation orders were non-speaking, did not record reasons, and were passed without an effective opportunity of hearing. The Court treated the defects as vitiating the decision-making process and held that fresh consideration was required by the original authority. The matter was remanded for issuance of a fresh show-cause notice, grant of personal hearing, and passage of a reasoned order. The consequential notice based on the cancellation was also quashed, and the registration would stand restored if no fresh notice was issued within the time stipulated by the Court.
