Where show cause notice regarding tax or ITC involving fraud was uploaded only on GST portal after cancellation of assessee's registration and no alternative service was effected, assessee was not obligated to check portal post-cancellation, thus, such service was improper, violating principles of natural justice, and impugned assessment order was to be quashed

Where summary SCN and ex parte order were uploaded only under 'Additional Notices and Orders' tab without separate intimation resulting in delayed reply, and personal hearing was not granted despite section 75(4) mandate, cumulative procedural infirmities invalidated adjudication and required reconsideration of reply after affording personal hearing and passing a fresh reasoned order

Allahabad High Court
Where Adjudicating Authority, after passing ex parte order without considering assessee's replies, issued a rectification order without notice and sustained demand, such rectification was impermissible since it was not for an error apparent but involved merit review, denial of hearing vitiated proceedings, thus only permissible course was recall of earlier order and fresh decision after hearing
