Brief :
The Hon'ble Jharkhand High Court in Santosh Kumar Roy v. the State of Jharkhand & Ors. [W.P.(T) No. 4782 of 2022 dated January 24, 2023] quashed and set aside the Show Cause Notice ("SCN") and the consequential order passed by the Revenue Department, on the grounds that the SCN issued to the assessee is not in strict compliance of Section 73 (1) of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 ("the CGST Act"). Held that, stating specific charges in the SCN is part of due procedure and fair play in action which are essential requirements of rule of law and has its genesis in Article 14 of the Constitution of India and since the principles of natural justice is not complied with, the ground of alternative remedy is not acceptable. Remanded back the matter to pass a fresh order after following the due procedure of law from the stage of issuing fresh SCN.
