Application of mind should be there on the part of the Revenue Department while cancelling the GST registration

Quick Summary
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that the Revenue Department must apply its mind when cancelling GST registrations, even if the order is system-generated. In a case involving Monirul Islam, the court set aside a cancellation order because the department mistakenly claimed no reply was filed. The court directed the department to restore the registration and the assessee to pay all outstanding dues.
