The SCN was only uploaded on GST Portal without physical service, preventing petitioner from responding. Court held that while portal upload constitutes valid service, officers must explore alternative service modes under Section 169 CGST Act when no response is received, rather than merely fulfilling empty formalities. The ex-parte order violated natural justice principles and lacked proper application of mind. Case remanded for fresh consideration without requiring any deposit from petitioner. en-us Tue, 10 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 07 Jul 2025 08:42:42 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=774324 Madras HC quashed GST order passed without proper service of show cause notice.
