Calcutta High Court
Where registration was cancelled due to non-updation of bank details following separation from joint account, and no fraud or evasion was alleged, such lapse was curable by furnishing correct particulars, thus one opportunity to prove bona fide was warranted and cancellation was quashed subject to compliance, pending returns and dues being filed for restoration of registration
Madras High Court
Where assessment order and DRC-7 confirmed tax demand exceeding SCN and failed to account for IGST already belatedly paid via GSTR-3B with DRC-7 ignoring such appropriation, demand confirmation was beyond SCN scope and, subject to partial remittance by petitioner, assessment order was set aside for reconsideration post issue of fresh SCN. GST: Where petitioner sought cancellation of GST registration due to business discontinuation and authorities rejected application solely for outstanding tax demand, discontinuation constitutes a valid statutory ground for cancellation and outstanding dues can be recovered post-cancellation, so rejection solely on demand grounds was untenable and authorities must reconsider cancellation as per law
Gujarat High Court
Where petitioner challenged show cause notice and subsequent orders regarding GST registration cancellation on ground that Stat Tax Officer had cited cases using AI, which were either not in existence, or were irrelevant, upon tendering of unconditional apology by STO, impugned orders and all consequential orders were to be set aside and fresh notice was to be issued to petitioner; Authorities were directed to scrupulously follow Instruction dated 18-08-2026 for use of AI
Allahabad High Court
Where GST-registered person's registration was cancelled by a non-speaking order with no reasons or recorded satisfaction, such cancellation violated Article 14 and principles of natural justice and was unsustainable, therefore cancellation and consequential appellate order were quashed and matter was revived for fresh adjudication after giving opportunity of hearing to petitioner
Patna High Court
Where assessee's registration was cancelled based solely on uploading of show cause notice on GST portal without service by e-mail or registered post or personal hearing, portal upload was insufficient for valid service, and settled law required personal service by prescribed modes, making cancellation order invalid and requiring re-issuance of SCN with opportunity for hearing and reasoned decision
Himachal Pradesh High Court
Where order dated 17.01.2025 cancelled registration retrospectively from 15.03.2022 without recording reasons for such retrospectivity in SCN or order, even though material showed no functioning unit at declared premises, retrospective cancellation was to be set aside and petitioner was entitled to a fresh reasoned decision on effective date, with actions post 17.01.2025 remaining intact
Rajasthan High Court
Where petitioner's GST registration was cancelled and statutory appeal was filed with delay of 167 days due to bona fide, uncontrollable reasons including business closure and fraud-tag impacting livelihood, and Appellate Authority otherwise lacked jurisdiction to condone such delay, non-adjudication would cause grave prejudice so delay was condoned and appeal was directed to be entertained on merits
Gauhati High Court
Where registration of a rice mill company was cancelled by a non-speaking order based on a show cause notice failing to specify months or relevant period of default, with no reasons recorded for cancellation and without providing an effective opportunity of hearing, such order violated principles of natural justice and thus same was to be held illegal, warranting restoration to show cause notice stage for fresh proceedings in accordance with law

Where registration of petitioner providing vehicles on hire was cancelled for non-filing of returns based on a show-cause notice lacking details of default period and an order devoid of specific reasons, such non-speaking cancellation order violated statutory mandate and natural justice, warranting quashing and remand for fresh consideration, as adverse civil consequences necessitate reasoned decision
Karnataka High Court
