1. The Petitioner by filing the present Writ Petition, inter-alia, prays for quashing of Order dated 24.03.2026 passed by Assistant Commissioner / GSTO, Ward 201: Zone 11: Delhi (hereinafter ‘the Impugned Order’) as also Show Cause Notice (hereinafter ‘SCN’) dated 27.09.2025 issued under Section 74 of CGST Act, 2017 (hereinafter ‘the act’).
2. Admittedly, statutory appeal under Section 107 of the Act is maintainable against the Impugned Order passed by the Assistant Commissioner. However, learned Counsel representing the Petitioner submitted that this Court should exercise Writ jurisdiction because the Petitioner was not served with a SCN.

Learned Counsel representing the Respondent submitted that apart from uploading the notice on portal which is permissible as per Section 169 of the Act, the Petitioner was given two reminders through This is a digitally signed order.

e-mails and mobile alerts.
4. It is to be noted here that by filing the Writ Petition, the Petitioner in paragraph 2.8, 2.9 and 2.10 of the petition has averred as under:

5. Whether the Petitioner has received the notice, e-mails and mobile alerts or has not received the same is a disputed question of fact, which cannot be decided in a Writ jurisdiction.
