***** ASHWANI KUMAR MISHRA, CJ (Oral) 1.
The petitioner’s GST registration has been cancelled vide order dated 16.06.2026 (Annexure P-3) with retrospective effect from 22.04.2025. Show Cause Notice (SCN) for cancellation of registration was issued to the petitioner on 15.11.2025 (Annexure P-2). The said cancellation of GST registration is challenged by way of this writ petition primarily on the ground that the SCN issued, pursuant to which impugned order was passed, does not make reference to any retrospective cancellation.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance upon the Division Bench judgment of this Court in M/s Bansal Casting, S.K.
Enterprises vs. Union of India and Another and M/s Shree Ram Industries vs. State of Haryana and Another; 2026:PHHC:027747-DB to submit that in such circumstances, the impugned order cannot be sustained.
