Joydeb Karmakar @ Jaydeb Karmakar v. Union of India

Where registration was cancelled due to non-updation of bank details following separation from joint account, and no fraud or evasion was alleged, such lapse was curable by furnishing correct particulars, thus one opportunity to prove bona fide was warranted and cancellation was quashed subject to compliance, pending returns and dues being filed for restoration of registration

Gujarat High Court18 Sept 2026

For assessee

Neptune Enterprise v. State of Gujarat

Where tax authority cancelled registration of assessee-firm retrospectively citing fraud or suppression but failed to consider request for more time to submit key documents, and passed order without deciding on such request or examining supporting evidence, such cancellation violated principles of natural justice and was set aside. GST: Where petitioners' registration cancellation was followed by revocation proceedings requiring immediate payment via DRC-03 and rejection relied on purchases from dealers whose registration was cancelled suo motu without prior notice to petitioners, imposition of payment and reliance on uncommunicated grounds amounted to jurisdictional overreach, rendering rejection order unsustainable and liable to be quashed. GST: Where registration was cancelled and revocation was rejected, but appellate authority introduced new grounds beyond original show cause notice, and opportunity to submit documents was denied at cancellation stage, such orders were quashed as non-application of mind and prejudicial amalgamation of issues warranted setting aside of cancellation and appeal with liberty to initiate fresh proceedings with due process

Md Qamaruddin Khan v. YRK Constructions

Where assessee's registration was cancelled due to non-filing of GSTR-3B for six months and, upon filing all pending returns and taxes, revocation was allowed, FAA erred by not mandating recovery of interest, late fee and penalty, so penalty was imposed and revenue permitted to collect all ancillary dues in compliance with Rule 23(1)
