2021 (2) TMI 1102 - HC - Central ExcisePrinciples of Natural Justice - serious grievance on the part of the petitioner is that not only there has been no specific order passed by the concerned authority denying the opportunity of cross examination to the petitioner, it has chosen to decide both the show cause notices in a common order, which has been passed on dated 4.9.2020 without even availing opportunity of hearing - HELD THAT:- So far as insistence on the part of the petitioner for personal hearing is concerned, the Court is not inclined to entertain that plea as the virtual hearing is being conducted right from the time the lock-down had been effected, even in those matters which are quite contested and one of them is the present matter also. So far as the request of cross examination made by the petitioner dated 19.8.2020 is concerned, we notice that in the Order-in-Original itself, the authority concerned has denied such right to the petitioner without passing any separate order even on noticing the decision of this Court in case of Mahek Glazes Pvt. Ltd. [2013 (7) TMI 128 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT]. Accordingly, let notice for final disposal as well as for interim relief be issued, returnable on 16.2.2021.
