https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=95063 HC quashed proceedings initiated under s.73 of the U.P. GST Act, 2017 against a proprietary concern whose sole proprietor had died prior to issuance of show cause notice. The Court held that s.93 governs the liability of legal representatives for tax, interest or penalty post death, but does not authorize determination of liability in the name of a deceased person. It is a sine qua non that legal representatives be issued notice and heard before any determination. As both the show cause notice and the order were passed against a dead person without notice to legal representatives, the proceedings were declared void and the petition allowed. en-us Mon, 15 Dec 2025 08:39:22 +0530 Mon, 15 Dec 2025 08:39:24 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=95063 HC quashed proceedings initiated under s.73 of the U.P.
