Non-effective portal notices, without a fair hearing or opportunity to reply, violate principles of natural justice


Last updated: 30 December 2025

Court :
Delhi High Court

Brief :
The Hon'ble Delhi High Court in the case of Kurlon Retail Limited v. Sales Tax Officer & Ors. [W.P.(C) 13121/2025, order dated August 28, 2025] held that where a show cause notice and reminders are only uploaded on the "Additional Notices & Orders" tab of the GST portal, without proper notice or opportunity of hearing, the resulting ex-parte adjudication order violates principles of natural justice and must be set aside. The Court remanded the matter for fresh adjudication with due opportunity, and clarified that the outcome is subject to the Supreme Court's pending decision on the validity of extension notifications.
