Issues: Whether the show cause proceedings and revocation of the amended registration could be sustained when the jurisdictional Commissioner had already granted common registration and the earlier dispute regarding the amended registration had attained finality.
Analysis: The registration dispute had already been considered by the jurisdictional Commissioner, who granted common registration, and no appeal was filed against that order. The earlier revocation of the amended registration had also been set aside in prior proceedings, thereby concluding the controversy in favour of the assessee. In that situation, the subsequent proceedings on the same issue could not survive, as the matter was bound by the earlier final orders and the departmental action was contrary to the doctrine of merger and the settled effect of the superior authority's decision.
Conclusion: The issue was decided in favour of the assessee on finality grounds, and the later departmental proceedings were unsustainable.
Final Conclusion: The Revenue appeal failed because the registration controversy had already been conclusively settled and the impugned proceedings could not reopen the same dispute.
Ratio Decidendi: Once a competent superior authority has finally decided the registration issue and the order has not been challenged, the same controversy cannot be reopened through subsequent proceedings on the same facts.
