Summary SCN not fulfilling the ingredients of a proper SCN and thus violative of principles of natural justice

Last updated: 04 May 2022
Quick Summary
The Jharkhand High Court has ruled that an Adjudication Order against M/s. Godavari Commodities Ltd. was invalid because it was issued without a proper Show Cause Notice (SCN). This failure to provide adequate notice violated the principles of natural justice. Consequently, the court quashed the Adjudication Order and related notices. However, the tax department has been given the liberty to initiate fresh proceedings if they choose to do so.
