Patna HC quashed orders passed ex-parte without providing fair opportunity of hearing to the petitioner

Last updated: 08 September 2021
Quick Summary
The Patna High Court has quashed several orders issued by the Additional Commissioner of State Tax. The court found these orders to be unlawful because they were made 'ex-parte', meaning without hearing the petitioner, Rambabu Singh. This violated the principles of natural justice, as Mr. Singh was not given a fair opportunity to present his case. Additionally, the orders lacked sufficient reasoning for the amounts determined to be due.
