Facts of the Case

It filed writ petition against the demand order and contended that neither the show cause notices nor the impugned order of assessment had been served on the petitioner by tender or sending it by RPAD, instead it had been uploaded in “view additional notices” column in GST Portal, and it was unaware of the impugned order of assessment.

The Honorable High Court noted that the impugned order was not served on petitioner by tender or sending it by RPAD but was uploaded in ‘View additional notices’ column in GST Portal.
