2019 (1) TMI 619 - HC - Central ExcisePrinciples of natural justice - though the respondents issued notice for personal hearing, the first respondent has not given an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioners and without their consent passed impugned order - Held that:- When the personal hearing could not be held due to administrative reasons, the first respondent ought to have passed the impugned order, after providing such opportunity to the petitioners. But, in violation of the principle of natural justice, the first respondent has passed the impugned order. As there is a clear violation of the principles of natural justice, this Court is inclined to set aside the impugned order. The matter is remanded back to the file of the first respondent to proceed from the stage of personal hearing - petition allowed by way of remand.
