This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. The petitioner has assailed an order dated 14.03.2024, passed by respondent no.3- the State Tax Officer, Pithoragarh Sector – 1, Uttarakhand under Section 74 of the UKSGST, 2017 imposing a tax liability of Rs.88,280/- upon the petitioner.
2. The submission of learned counsel for petitioner is that the impugned order has been passed without providing any opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and is thus in breach of Section 75(4) of the Act.
3. Ms. Pooja Banga, learned Standing Counsel for the Revenue is not in a position to show to us that any opportunity of hearing was granted to the petitioner. Consequently, the contention of learned
UKHC010137402026
2026:UHC:6866-DB counsel for the petitioner is found to be sustainable.
4. The impugned order is accordingly quashed with liberty to the Department to pass a fresh order after providing proper opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.
5. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of.
