2015 (10) TMI 1038 - HC - Central ExciseApplication for exemption from personal appearance - Held that:- A perusal of the impugned order dated 30.09.2014 indicates that the respondent had challenged the jurisdiction of the petitioner to act as an estate officer as it was contended that a notification under Section 3 of the said Act had not been issued. Therefore, the District Judge had called upon the petitioner to appear in person and file an affidavit to explain the position regarding the formal conferment of power as an Estate Officer. A personal appearance of a statutory authority, whose jurisdiction is challenged is, ordinarily, not warranted - impugned order, insofar as it directs the personal appearance of the petitioner, is set aside. - Appeal disposed of.
