Punjab Khad Store (INDIA) vs. Union Of INDIA And Others
Original PDF →Facts
The petitioner, Punjab Khad Store (India), filed a writ petition challenging the validity of service of a notice and an order-in-original. The core of the dispute was whether uploading these documents on the 'View Additional Notices and Orders' tab on the GST portal constituted proper service under Section 169 read with Section 146 of the Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. The petitioner contended that this method of service was not valid. The respondents were the Union of India and other authorities.
Held
The Court held that the question raised in the present writ petition is squarely covered by its previous judgments. Specifically, it referred to the decision in CWP-27139-2025, Luxmi Traders v. Union Territory of Chandigarh and Others, and the further clarification in CWP-15601-2026, The Amar Cooperative LC Society Ltd. v. State of Haryana and Others. The reasoning behind these judgments, though not detailed in this extract, established the principle that uploading of notices and orders on the GST portal under the specified tab constitutes proper service. Consequently, the instant writ petition was disposed of in the same terms as the aforementioned precedents. The operative direction was to dispose of the petition in line with the prior judgments.
Key Issues
1. Whether the uploading of a notice and an order-in-original on the 'View Additional Notices and Orders' tab on the common portal, www.gst.gov.in, amounts to proper service in view of Section 169 read with Section 146 of the Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017? The petitioner argued that such uploading does not constitute proper service. The revenue, represented by the Union of India and others, contended that the issue is no longer res integra and has been decided by previous judgments of the High Court. They relied on the judgments in CWP-27139-2025, Luxmi Traders v. Union Territory of Chandigarh and Others, and CWP-15601-2026, The Amar Cooperative LC Society Ltd. v. State of Haryana and Others.
