Issues: Whether a show cause notice proposing duty demand for the extended period under section 11A, when issued by the Deputy Collector instead of the Collector, was legally valid.
Analysis: Section 11A, as brought into force, required that where the Revenue sought to invoke the extended period on allegations such as suppression or wilful mis-statement, the notice had to be issued by the Collector. A notice issued by an officer other than the Collector in such circumstances was not in accordance with the statutory requirement, and proceedings founded on such a notice could not be sustained.
Conclusion: The notice and the consequent proceedings were invalid, and the appeal succeeded.
Ratio Decidendi: When the statute vests jurisdiction to issue an extended-period duty notice in a specified authority, a notice issued by a different authority is void and cannot support further proceedings.
