The firm had acquired foreign exchange but failed to provide import evidence, leading to a penalty imposition of Rs. 20,40,000. The appellant did not respond to the show-cause notice or attend adjudication proceedings, resulting in an ex parte decision by the Adjudicating Officer.The appellant's representative argued that the necessary import had been made in time and submitted documents supporting the import claim, explaining the delay in producing them due to office relocation and health issues faced by the company director. The respondent highlighted the absence of a confirmation letter from the appellant's bankers and requested a remand of the case for verification of documents not considered during the initial proceedings.After considering both parties' submissions, the Tribunal found the import claim crucial and granted the appellant a fresh opportunity to be heard. The impugned order was set aside, and the case was remanded for fresh adjudication from the stage of the show-cause notice. The appellant was directed to appear before the Adjudicating Officer for expedited proceedings, preferably within six months from the order receipt.
