¶2This Writ Petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission itself with the consent of the learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Junior Panel Counsel and Senior Panel Counsel for the Respondent.

¶3In this Writ Petition, the Petitioner has challenged the impugned Order dated 12.11.2025 passed under Section 74(9) of the respective GST enactments pursuant to the Show Cause Notice No.729/2025-2026-HPU dated 28.06.2025.

¶4The impugned order has been passed after considering the Petitioner's reply to the above Show Cause Notice and thereafter the Petitioner was heard.

¶6However, reading of the discussion in the impugned order indicates that the Petitioner was heard during personal hearing. Therefore, there is no merits in the challenge to the impugned order in this Writ Petition, as there is no procedural irregularity committed by the Respondent and also did not confine any interference in the impugned order. Therefore, this Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed.

¶7Considering the same, liberty is granted to the Petitioner to file Statutory Appeal before the Appellate Authority within a period of thirty days

(30) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶8In case the Petitioner files such appeal before the Appellate Authority, the Appellate Authority shall dispose of the appeal on merits without reference to the limitation.

¶9In case the Petitioner fails to file such appeal, the Respondent is at liberty to proceed against the Petitioner to recover the tax in accordance with law as if this Writ Petition was dismissed in limine today.
