Case Law Details
Ram Prasad Sharma Vs. Chief Commissioner and another (Madhya Pradesh High Court)
petitioner has drawn the attention of this Court to the provision of Rule 142(1) of CGST Act to contend that the said provision statutarily obliges the revenue department to communicate show-cause notice/order by uploading the same on the website of revenue so that the aggrieved person can have access to the same and be aware of reasons behind the demand to enable the aggrieved person to avail alternative remedy before the higher forum under CGST Act.
A bare perusal of the aforesaid provision reveals that the only mode prescribed for communicating the show-cause notice/order is by way of uploading the same on website of the revenue.
The State in its reply has provided no material to show that show-cause notice/order No.10 dated 10.06.2020 was uploaded on website of revenue. In fact, learned AAG, Shri Mody, fairly concedes that the show-cause notice/order was communicated to petitioner by Email and was not uploaded on website of the revenue.
