Issues: Whether a show cause notice invoking the proviso to Section 11A(1) of the Central Excises and Salt Act, issued by the Superintendent of Central Excise instead of the Collector, was legally valid.
Analysis: The proviso to Section 11A(1), as amended with effect from 27-12-1985, required that a notice seeking to invoke the longer period of limitation be issued by the Collector of Central Excise. The notice in question was issued by the Superintendent of Central Excise for a period covered by the extended limitation and therefore did not conform to the statutory requirement. On that legal defect, the notice and the proceedings founded on it were liable to be set aside.
Conclusion: The notice was invalid and the challenge succeeded in favour of the assessee.
