Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel. 2. The present petition has been filed challenging the order dated 05.12.2023 passed under Section 73 of the GST Act as well as the order dated 29.04.2025 passed in appeal, whereby the appeal was dismissed as being beyond limitation. 3. The neat contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that no opportunity of hearing was granted prior to passing the order under Section 73 of the GST Act. It has been specifically pleaded that the notices were never uploaded on the notices section and were uploaded under the additional tax. The order impugned also does not reflect that any opportunity of hearing was granted. 4. Considering the law as explained by this Court in Writ Tax No.303 of 2024 (Mahaveer Trading Company vs. Deputy Commissioner, State Tax and Anr.) vide judgment dated 04.03.2024 and in the case of Ola Fleet Technologies Private Limited vs State of U.P. and others: 2024:AHC:116559-DB, both the orders cannot be sustained and are set aside. 5. The matter is remanded to pass fresh order after affording an opportunity of hearing, in accordance with law. 6. The petition stands disposed of.
