- Anirban Ray, Ld. GP, T.M. Siddique, Tanoy Chakraborty, S. Sanyal for the Respondent.
Facts of the Case
The appellant was aggrieved by the order passed under Section 73 and filed writ petition against the same. The learned Single Bench directed the appellant to file appeal before Appellate Authority under Section 107 of CGST Act, 2017. The appellant filed appeal against the order of Single Bench and contended that it should be given one more opportunity since the consultant could not take appropriate steps due to certain intervening circumstances and ex-parte order was passed.
High Court Held
The Honorable High Court noted that the appellant didn’t file any reply to the show cause notice and none appeared on behalf of the appellant on the date fixed for personal hearing. The Court also noted that the department had dropped demand in respect of earlier assessment year i.e. 2017-2018.
Therefore, the Court held that the matter was to be restored to stage of show cause notice with liberty to appellant to file reply within 15 days. The Court also directed the Adjudicating Authority to fix date for personal hearing and the appellant shall appear before the Authority either in person or through authorised representative.
