Quick Summary

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ruled that GST orders issued without providing reasons or considering the assessee's reply are invalid. Such 'non-speaking' orders violate the principles of natural justice. The court set aside an order that failed to address the petitioner's detailed reply and documents, directing a fresh order after a personal hearing.
