Facts of the Case
In the present case, the petitioner received show cause notice which didn’t specify the name or designation of the officer before whom the petitioner had to appear. Thereafter, the order of cancellation of registration was passed with retrospective effect from 1st July 2017 and it didn’t give any reason but simply stated that no reply to the show cause notice had been submitted. The petitioner filed writ petition against the order.
High Court Held
The Honorable High Court noted that the impugned order did not bear the signature and attached documents were digitally signed by “DS Goods and Services Tax Network 07”. The Court also noted a pattern of similar procedural flaws in GST orders and notices which highlighted a potential systemic issue.
Therefore, the Delhi High Court issued a notice to the Principal Commissioner of GST and the Director of “DS Goods and Services Limited” to appear and clarify irregularities in GST orders and notices.
