If you did not reply or attend, the officer can pass an order on the material available. You can appeal under Sec 107 within 3 months, and courts sometimes remand cases for fresh hearing where notices were only on the portal.

Provisions

Sec 107, CGST Act 2017; Sec 169, CGST Act 2017

Analysis

Appeal is the main route, with pre-deposit of 10 percent of disputed tax. Ground it on lack of hearing and on merits. If the notice was only uploaded in a tab you did not see, some High Courts have allowed writs, but that is fact specific.
