Transaction cannot be suspected when GST registration of other end dealer is cancelled with retrospective effect


Quick Summary
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that a business transaction cannot be deemed suspicious solely because the other party's GST registration was cancelled retrospectively. The court found that the Revenue Department's order cancelling the assessee's GST registration was a non-speaking order, lacking independent findings against the assessee. The matter was remanded for fresh consideration, requiring an opportunity for a personal hearing.
