Andhra Pradesh High Court
Where assessee challenged summary assessment order lacking both signature of Assessing Officer and Document Identification Number, such procedural defects were found not curable under sections 160 or 169, and signature on assessment order was mandatory, rendering impugned unsigned assessment order inherently invalid and liable to be set aside
Andhra Pradesh High Court
Where petitioner challenged assessment order for want of Assessing Officer's signature on Form GST DRC-07 and government confirmed order was unsigned, such absence of signature under CGST provisions rendered order invalid as authentication requirement under Rules mandated signature for valid service, making delay in seeking writ immaterial and order liable to be set aside
Andhra Pradesh High Court
Where assessment order was served only through GST portal and unsigned by Assessing Officer, in view of precedent holding signature on assessment order mandatory, such unsigned order suffered from patent irregularities, and hence, to be set aside: assessment was remanded to AO for fresh order after due hearing subject to petitioner depositing 20% of demand amount
Andhra Pradesh High Court
Where petitioner challenged assessment order as unsigned and only portal upload was relied upon as service, absence of assessing officer's signature could not be cured by service provisions or portal-based delivery, thus impugned assessment order was invalid, and writ was entertainable on deposit of 20 percent of disputed tax, necessitating remand for fresh adjudication after hearing
