Summary

AI-Generated
  • The Rajasthan High Court has invalidated an unsigned show-cause notice and order against M/s Mayur Timber, confirming a GST demand of over Rs.10 lakh.
  • The Court ruled that the lack of digital or physical signatures rendered the documents legally non-existent, violating principles of natural justice.
  • It noted that the petitioner was unaware of the proceedings until informed by their bank due to improper communication and no effective personal hearing.
  • Respondents are permitted to issue a fresh, duly authenticated notice and provide a proper opportunity for hearing, leaving all tax demand merits open for future adjudication.
