Rishi Pal Singh S/O Sukhpal Singh vs. Union Of INDIA
Held
The Court held that mere uploading of documents on the GST portal, especially if placed in the wrong folder, does not constitute effective service. The petitioners were entitled to an opportunity of hearing before any demand is confirmed.
Facts
The petitioners challenged a GST demand notice and order, claiming they were never formally served and only discovered the proceedings when a caller directed them to the GST portal. They argued they were not afforded an opportunity to be heard.
Key Issues
Whether uploading documents on the GST portal constitutes effective service and if the principles of natural justice were violated by denying the petitioner an opportunity to be heard.
