2022 (8) TMI 662 - HC - CustomsPrinciples of natural justice - opportunity of hearing was extended to the Petitioner or not - petitioner is guilty of fraud or not - HELD THAT:- The show cause notice is dated 6th June 2022. As per paragraph 10 of the show cause notice, the Petitioner was directed to file reply by 4.00 p.m. on 7th June 2022. The Petitioner, it appears, has filed Reply within the stipulated time, however, the Petitioner was not provided with a video conferencing link nor was given hearing. The same is not in consonance with the show cause notice, so also the provisions of the Act, 1992. The impugned order is passed on 7th June 2022 itself - As the opportunity of hearing was not given as mandated under the Statute and the show cause notice, the present petition is entertained. The impugned order is set aside only on the ground that an opportunity of hearing was not extended - petition disposed off.
