This post explains about Show cause notice under GST.

Show Cause Notice

Show cause notice means an order issued by a Court, Competent Authorities or an Organization asking an individual or a group of people to explain or to "show cause" in writing as to why the disciplinary action should not be taken against the individual or the group of people involved in certain incidents, misconduct, poor performance and wrongdoing.  Order to show cause is issued by the authority or the Management after reviewing the entire incident and if finds that the person accused or may involve in wrongdoing and it is also to give a fair chance of hearing him and his explanation towards his/her actions and so avoid disciplinary action. Below, we have described the several reasons a person may receive a show cause notice, including how to write and respond to this kind of notice or letter.

Within a legal context, the court can issue a show cause order that requires a party to present before the court for explanation why a certain course of action should not be initiated against that party. For example, if due procedure was not followed while filing a complaint, the court may issue a show cause order, to the investigating authority and lawyer regarding the same. The court will then conduct a show cause hearing, where the investigating authority and the lawyer will have to bring the proof and evidence and submit all facts and figure to explain the court that why the due course of action was not followed. If the lawyer fails to appear or if the explanation is weak the court may dismiss that case or issue the order to re-open the case and may ask for further investigation and appeal and bring that into the hearing.
