The petitioner produced email and postal evidence showing a reply to the show cause notice, while the impugned order was passed on the erroneous premise that no reply had been filed. The HC found that complete non-consideration of the reply constituted a violation of principles of natural justice and fair play, vitiating the adjudication. Consequently, the order-in-original was quashed and set aside, and the matter was remanded to the adjudicating authority for fresh consideration of the show cause notice after duly considering the petitioner's reply. The petition was disposed of by remand. en-us Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 11 Dec 2025 08:56:07 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=783219 HC held the writ petition maintainable despite availability of a statutory appeal, invoking the exception for breach of natural justice.
