Appellate order rejecting the appeal without providing proper reasons is invalid under Section 107(12)


Quick Summary
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that an appellate order rejecting an appeal is invalid if it fails to provide proper reasons. The court found that the appellate authority had not applied its mind to the facts or grounds of appeal, rendering the order void. This decision, based on Section 107(12) of the WBGST Act, emphasises the necessity for reasoned decisions in tax appeals.
